Editor's Take
Amazon reviewers say this book is a strong growth-mindset read for kids, praising its fun illustrations, funny tone, and clear lessons about making mistakes, resilience, and self-confidence. Some Amazon reviewers note mixed readability, saying the message is helpful but the wording can feel awkward or less polished.
Goodreads community reviews are also broadly positive, with readers calling it cute, inspiring, and a good way to teach children that mistakes are normal and can lead to learning and perseverance. A book review site describes it as a simple story with an encouraging message about not giving up.
On YouTube, a real video about this exact book appears as an animated read-aloud storytime, which matches the product closely and suggests the book has at least some video coverage beyond text reviews.
