Nothing ventured, nothing gained! From science experiments that go horribly wrong to sour notes, bike mishaps, and embarrassing disasters, every day is filled with opportunities for failures--and ultimate successes--that shape a child's character.

Illustrator Sally Springer uses a light touch and luminous colors to capture each excruciating moment while author Mark Burrows draws on his experience with young children to create a realistic take on everyday activities. While experiences may seem scary, embarrassing, or silly, youngsters are encouraged to try them anyway!
