The next Dr Seuss?
This is a great story told in rhyme about how failure is key to success. Great for reading aloud or young readers. This is my first Beaty book & I will be checking out other books by this author. The lyrical quality is reminiscent of Dr Seuss in all the best ways.
The illustrations are fine, but not top notch - the adults frequently look like they modeled for the claymation movies. Ick.
The text deserves five stars, but the illustrations drop it to four. I checked this book from the library but will be adding it to our collection. Highly recommend.

This book is wonderful. It has a great message, rhyming text, quirky illustrations, and some history subtly integrated into the story. Encourages girl power, that failing is good and necessary, that creating is meant to be worked at and shared. A very good story and one we plan to own. My engineer husband really endorses not only this story but particularly its message "...the only true failure can come if you quit." :) We are excited to read the architect and science ones also by this author.
