A torn page becomes a crocodile's mouth. A spill becomes a landscape. A hole becomes a window. Saltzberg's interactive book is a physical object that demonstrates its own argument — every mistake is a creative opportunity, and the only thing standing between a mess and a masterpiece is the willingness to look at it differently. Not a book about failure being okay. A book about failure being the beginning. The most honest creative process book for small children because it doesn't ask them to feel better about mistakes — it shows them what to do with one.
