A Creative Take on a Common Topic submitted by Meginator on July 8, 2023, 10:05pm Despite the fact that it doesn’t have a wholly original concept, this book offers a charming take on the idea that mistakes can be the genesis of a new creative idea rather than the end of an initial one. The interactive format makes the point come alive in different and effective ways, with various kinds of flaps showing before-and-after examples of common types of spills and stains. The format and the theme are an excellent match here, setting this book apart from others that tackle the same subject in a similar way, and hopefully readers of all ages will be able to take its message to heart.
