Oops! Step by step cover

A cute new book for author Mack, the author or A Hundred Kisses Before Bedtime & A Little Bite For You about trying new things Baby animals are ready to try all sorts of new things. But . . . oops! What do they do when they fall down? They get up and try again! A cute little book about taking first steps. For risk-takers ages 12 months and up, with a focus on the child’s world. At Clavis, our focus is on what’s best for children. We believe that books play an important role in each new phase in life. Our toddler books are tailored for every stage from 0 to 3 and focus on the five most important themes in their life: daily life, skills, emotions, the world, and language development. The age range and theme of every book in our toddler series can be found on the back cover in the form of a colored train.

"From the moment I saw this small format picture book, I loved it. Baby cartoon animals get themselves into a variety of minor scrapes. A goat is stuck on a mountain and a giraffe slips in a muddy puddle, but they all get up again in the final pages. The illustration is appropriately simple and wobbly, managing to make small failures both a source of comedy and an opportunity to learn that recovery comes easily after a little oops. For ages 2 and up." - Publishers Weekly "It is a cute little book for kids. Cute little animals start on a journey to play and explore. Then they slip and fall, although in a harmless way. Type of fall after which you laugh for a long time. It is a funny picture book for kids." - Bookvenger "Loved this concept. This would be such a fun book to read with little kids. As a preschool teacher, I can just picture the children getting excited every time to say "oops." The illustrations were really fun as well! The giraffe was my favorite animal. I can just see so many ways to teach with this book. Great job!" - Molly Christie "I'm just so in love with this little book. I'm in my late twenties and I really had to control myself not to go to the last pages to find out what message the book was going after. I loved the childlike anticipation I felt through the whole book and the way it made me smile and laugh. It's a gem. I can totally see myself with my godchildren, reading the book to them, making them laugh and helping them with the message. I can imagine that it is easy to involve the book in daily life, making hilarious OOps noises with the kids, if something didn't happen quite as expected." - Vi A
