Zoom meets Beautiful Oops in this memorable picture book debut about the creative process, and the way in which "mistakes" can blossom into inspirationOne eye was bigger than the other. That was a mistake.
The weird frog-cat-cow thing? It made an excellent bush.
And the inky smudges... they look as if they were always meant to be leaves floating gently across the sky.
As one artist incorporates accidental splotches, spots, and misshapen things into her art, she transforms her piece in quirky and unexpected ways, taking readers on a journey through her process. Told in minimal, playful text, this story shows readers that even the biggest "mistakes" can be the source of the brightest ideas--and that, at the end of the day, we are all works in progress, too. Fans of Peter Reynolds's Ish and Patrick McDonnell's A Perfectly Messed-Up Story will love the funny, poignant, completely unique storytelling of The Book of Mistakes. And, like Oh, The Places You'll Go , it makes the perfect graduation gift, encouraging readers to have a positive outlook as they learn to face life's obstacles.

Feels super high quality
Package Size Name: Family Triple Roll, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 12)
Best paper towel ever - honestly they don’t feel like paper, they’re soft almost like an actual towel. These are the best for wiping my kids faces and hands because they’re soft and don’t fall apart. Also great for pets because I can scrub my carpet when my dog has an accident and the paper towel does not shred. 10/10 recommend these. They also don’t unravel and fling all over the place so I like to have a roll by my back door for the dogs paws, super convenient. The roll kind of sticks to itself so it stays tidy.

The best ever paper towels
Package Size Name: Family Triple Roll, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 12)
These are hands down the best paper towels I have ever used. If you haven’t tried them yet, you absolutely should. They truly feel more like a soft cloth than a paper towel, and the absorbency is incredible. They’re durable, super soft, and handle messes so well without falling apart. I am officially a buyer for life and won’t be going back to anything else!

These are the best paper towel ever!
Package Size Name: Family Triple Roll, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 12)
The reason I say these are the best paper towels is because they are more like a cloth than actual paper. If you're doing something larger like cleaning the kitchen sinks you can usually get by with just one. You can wet it down, ring it out and continue working. When it's time to dry, these soak up so much more liquid than any other towel... It's crazy! They are a bit on the expensive side, but you'll use so fewer towels that it makes up the difference.

Strong, mighty and reusable.
Package Size Name: Triple, Size: 141 Sheets (Pack of 2)
I love these specifically for our RV because they work great to take my makeup off at the end of day as well. These really are different and more durable then most others on the market. Can even be rinsed and reused before discarded if need be.
