When a clumsy armadillo named Lola knocks over a glass pitcher, she sets off a silly chain of events, encountering chaos wherever she goes. But accidents happen—just ask the stoat snarled in spaghetti, the airborne sheep, and the bull who has broken a whole shop’s worth of china. In the tradition of beloved books like The Dot and Beautiful Oops, this charming, hilarious debut from author-illustrator Andrea Tsurumi shows that mistakes don’t have to be the end of the world.

Review

Publishers Weekly’s Best Books of 2017 ? "In her first picture book, cartoonist Tsurumi offers an ingenious and utterly hilarious take on this important moral issue." —Publishers Weekly, starred review ? " Tsurumi comically gets to the heart of how children frantically worry about mistakes, and poring over the riotous illustrations is pure joy. This will delight again and again." —Booklist, starred review ? “Tsurumi’s hilarious dialogue and story is matched only by her drawings. Her world-building ability evokes the style of Richard Scarry; there’s something going on in every inch of the page . . . A standout hit—make no mistake about it.” –School Library Journal, starred review ". . . Children will have great fun poring over and savoring the escapades, some of which are depicted small. Besides honing visual-literacy skills, this is a neat vehicle for developing vocabulary, as pertinent themed words ("FIASCO!"; "MAYHEM!") are wittily incorporated into the comical illustrations as sound effects or speech-balloon dialogue." —Kirkus "This useful message is simply and effectively conveyed through the minimal text, but it’s the detailed, humorous illustrations that will fascinate and engage readers and viewers... Use this to offer perspective to kids who tend to catastrophize their own and others’ mistakes or as fodder for discussions about problems and resolutions." —Bulletin "...Groovy debut..." —New York Times —

Their book in the Elephant & Piggie Love Reading Series, I'M ON IT!, was a Kirkus Best of the Year 2021.

Incredible illustrations with a fun (and educational) story

This has been my go-to holiday gift for my friends with young kids. Honestly, the book could have no words and it would still be great to get. It's filled with incredible illustrations of all sorts of animals with incredible detail. You could spend hours pointing out anything from anteaters to narwhals.

Tsurumi's whimsical style makes each frame engaging both for adults and children alike. It's a children's book that you will enjoy reading as well... even if it's the 15th time that week. There's also a lot of great opportunity to ad-lib - if that's your thing - and tell the story in an animated way (pun intended).

As other reviewers have pointed out, the story itself is simple. In my experience, that's kinda a nice thing as it makes participation super easy. It won't take long for a young one to memorize most of the book, which makes it way more interactive.

Overall, I can't recommend this book enough - I've bought 3 or 4 copies for gifts by now. And if you don't believe me, you can check out all the awards it's winning. I just heard NPR name it as a Best Book of 2017

Wonderful pictures

This is an interesting book. It doesn’t have many words but it has so much to look at and talk about. Unfortunately this doesn’t work for my child who is very behind in language. I was looking for a book that would teach her how and when to say I’m sorry and this was not that book for her but would be a wonderful book for other children with a better grasp on language.

A fun read about perfection and mistakes. Kid's favorite!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2019

Such a fun book for the kids to look through with so many details. It sparks great discussions about perfection and mistakes and how they aren't the end of the world.

This book is heavy on illustration and light on reading. It's great for sparking discussion or giving the kiddos something fun to look through while they're in the car or keeping them busy while you're running errands or stuck in a waiting room.

Lovely illustrations, great visuals, something new every time it’s read.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 6, 2017

I purchased 3 copies as gifts. Two will be Christmas gifts. One copy went to my neighbors 6 year old for her birthday. She discusses the book with me every time she sees me. Her parents say she sees something new every time they read the book to her....she is fascinated by the interesting drawings and by finding new creatures every time she is read the book. You can’t ask for anything more from a kids book than their constantly asking to read it.

Cute story, enjoyable illustrations.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

This book is worth buying for the illustrations alone. There’s a lot to look at, that can keep a kid entertained for awhile when you’re not reading to them.
The storyline is relatable and cute. The price tends to be higher than what I like to pay, but it was worth it.
