Book description:  Beatrice Bottomwell has NEVER (not once!) made a mistake...

Meet Beatrice Bottomwell: a nine-year-old girl who has never (not once!) made a mistake. She never forgets her math homework, she never wears mismatched socks, and she ALWAYS wins the yearly talent show at school. In fact, Beatrice holds the record of perfection in her hometown, where she is known as The Girl Who Never Makes Mistakes. Life for Beatrice is sailing along pretty smoothly until she does the unthinkable–she makes her first mistake. And in a very public way!

Book review:  What a perfectly perfect book for little perfectionists everywhere (whether they are going through a stage or were born that way), easing them into the idea that it's okay to make mistakes.  I loved it.  Written with warmth and humor and illustrated with charm, The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes is one of those books your kids won't forget and will want to have it read to them again and again.  This one is definitely worth purchasing for your home library.
