Stickley didn't like making mistakes. "Oh no!" he'd say, and he wouldn't try again. He wanted to be perfect. With help from his Grandpa, Stickley learns to hop up, try again, and say "oh well" when he makes a mistake. Nobody's perfect, and good things can happen - even when you make mistakes! Includes a Note to Parents, Caregivers, and Teachers with advice for helping children develop a healthy attitude towards making mistakes. Reviews The text is written in straightforward prose, making this a good choice for kids who may miss the point otherwise … A key lesson directly delivered; this book will be well received by little ones who could use some support. —School Library Journal I think that Stickley Makes a Mistake is an important book, one that should be in every single kindergarten classroom; because making mistakes and navigating challenging situations and problem solving skills are so incredibly important. This book is a perfect read for preschool through third grade. The tips in the back are ones all lower elementary teachers and parents should read and learn more about. —The Petite Stag About the Author Brenda S.
