Описание: Millys Marvellous Mistakes is a funny, rhyming picture book for the X-factor generation of children brought up to expect overnight success and instant gratification
Our hero, Milly May, more than anything, wants to paint beautiful pictures. But she always ends up with blots and smudges. She really WISHES she was a better artist, and then - hey presto - her fairy godmother appears (looking a little bit like the artist Frida Khalo ) and grants her wish.
Milly is soon turning out paintings in the style of famous artists, including: Van Gogh and Da Vinci There are lots of great visual jokes in this beautifully illustrated and colourful book.
But Milly soon discovers that success that comes too easily may not be worth having - especially if it means losing friends.
This funny, rhyming picture book - about art, friendship and the dangers of instant gratification - says its ok to make mistakes. Like Peta Rainfords previous book, The Niggle, it tackles the issue of resilience in a humorous, imaginative and child-friendly way.
This book would be great for early readers or as a bedtime story for children of around 4 to 8 years of age.
