Beatrice Bottomwell 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, the entire town calls her The Girl Who Never Makes Mistakes!
One day, the inevitable happens: Beatrice makes a huge mistake in front of everyone!
But in the end, readers (and perfectionists) will realize that life is more fun when you enjoy everything—even the mistakes.

“Beatrice’s discovery that you can laugh off even a very public mistake shows the importance of resiliency and helps perfectionist kids keep things in perspective. Most importantly, Beatrice reminds the reader that it’s more important to enjoy the things that you do than worry about doing them perfectly.”—A Mighty Girl
“The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes is a must-read for any young (or old!) perfectionist. Beatrice Bottomwell is perfectly imperfect!”—Stephanie Oppenheim, Oppenheim Toy Portfolio

Simple story, great message for early primary and any age.

Update: I pulled it out to read to my younger child last night, who loved it at face value. What surprised me, however, was my older one (the original 5-year-old in this review). Besides loving the illustrated nods to her favorite comic strip these days, she is now old enough to read a bit more deeply. She pointed out, for example, that the crowd of fans in the beginning that disappear in the end are likely representative of the girl’s internalized anxiety, which resolve when she is forced to confront her fear of failure, noting that they were drawn without color. She noticed details, like the girl hadn’t changed her performance in 3 years, because she felt so much pressure to be perfect, both internally and externally, that she was afraid to do new things. Things drawn in gray (her fans, her father who proudly proclaimed that she didn’t make mistakes, her teacher) were possible causes of her negative emotions.
Lots to discuss in this book, even for slightly older kids!

My five year old with perfectionist tendencies loves this story. It’s a nice reminder that nobody is perfect. It’s cute, and the art is definitely more than a little reminiscent of Calvin and Hobbes (the little brother, the dad, the teacher at school, etc).

Every year I choose a book as a theme for the school year. This book worked well since we were talking about growth mindset and how success doesn’t really come unless you have failed first. The book was fun and there’s a bit of a twist when the kids think she’s going to fail but she doesn’t – the failure comes in the next pages. It kept them on their toes and sparked a great discussion, both on the author’s pacing and the positives of failure if you learn from it. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking to incorporate growth mindset.

Good book on teaching students it is ok to make mistakes.

I did not like the story because it let children with the idea that being silly is the same as making mistakes. I consider it a superficial book, it only helps with the introduction of the theme.

Nice story and good quality cover. The story is longer than expected which is good i guess. Cannt wait to read it to my daughter when she gets bigger.

Me ha gustado mucho la moraleja del cuento y, aunque he visto ilustraciones más atractivas que estas, el libro merece la pena.
