Meet Beatrice Bottomwell, a nine-year-old girl who has never (not once!) made a mistake. She never forgets her math homework, never wears mismatched socks, and always wins her school's annual talent show. In fact, Beatrice holds the record of perfection in her hometown, where she is known as "The Girl Who Never Makes Mistakes." Life for Beatrice is sailing along pretty smoothly until she does the unthinkable: She makes her first mistake—and in a very public way!

الفتاة التي لا ترتكب الأخطاء أبداً...مثال للكمال في مدينتها الصغيرة...
تستيقظ دونما أي شعور بالإنزعاج للذهاب إلى المدرسة ، تتأكد من ارتداء الجوارب المناسبة ، تعد الإفطار بميزان دقيق لا يحتمل الخطأ ، لا تنسى أداء الواجبات المدرسية ، الفائزة دوماً بعروض المواهب.....
تنزلق قدميها ويكاد البيض يسقط أرضاً....لربما كنت شريرة في هذه اللحظة فلقد ارتسمت على وجهي ابتسامة ماكرة وتمتمت...أخيراً سترتكبين خطأً يا عزيزتي وتصبحين فتاة طبيعية....😏
لكن للأسف خابت آمالي ما أن التقطت البيض بيديها وحتى أنها فتحت فمها لالتقاط البيضة الاخيرة....
ألن تتزلجين على الجليد مع أصدقائك يا فتاة..!
ألن تتقاذفي معهم الضحكات وتتبادلوا اللكزات !!
حسناً....سيأتي يوم تقدم عرضاً لطالما كانت تتلقي التصفيق والهتافات بالكمال فإذ بالعرض يفسد تماماً وتوقف قلبي لوهلة إلى أن انطلقت الضحكات المكتومة منها قهقهات عالية لا يمكن ان تسيطر عليها...وعندئذ هنأتها من قلبي لأنها أصبحت فتاة طبيعية أخيراً وتقبلت بأن ليس الامر كارثياً على الإطلاق إن لم تسر الأمور على ما يرام وارتكبت الأخطاء...فلابأس أن تتعثري...تسقطي...تنهضي يا عزيزتي...لابأس أبداً...
ملحوظة صغيرة : لقد أحببت ارتداءك زوجاً من الجوارب اللامتشابهة.😄
وها هى تدعى باسمها "بياتريس" وليس الفتاة التي لا ترتكب الأخطاء.😍
كم أنا مُمتنة للحظات الحلوة التي أقضيها برفقة مثل هذه القصص وإن كانت للأطفال ولكن....دعنا من تقديم أي تفسير لذلك...

This was such a good book for the niece. She can worry so much about doing everything perfectly and this book really illustrates what we have been trying to tell her that life is about making mistakes and learning from them. I was also this way as a kid and I was so much happier once I was able to loosen up a bit.
This girl is simply known as the Girl who never makes mistakes. She juggles for people to watch. She is also famous for never making mistakes. One day, she makes a mistake on stage in her show for everyone to see. It’s a little mistake that causes a big embarrassing outcome. The girl doesn’t know what to do. Then, she begins to laugh. It is wonderful, that laughter. I have found that is how I handle my mistakes now too. I laugh at myself. It is the best way I have found to deal with my feelings, much better than ripping myself to shreds over a mistake. After the mistake, she gets to be much happier.
It’s a wonderful story and I think it impacted my niece in a big way. My brother bought this book for the home library. It is worth owning. It is just what our family needed to hear. The niece gave this 4 stars and the nephew, while he did laugh, also thought it was a good story. He gave it 3 stars.

This book is just what both young and practiced perfectionists need. As a recovering perfectionist I know the struggle Beatrice goes through in this book, making sure everything is done just right. As a perfectionist she fears making mistakes and in living her ‘perfect’ life, she misses out on fun activities like ice-skating with her friends.
When the inevitable happens and Beatrice finally makes a mistake she learns that maybe making mistakes isn’t such a bad thing after all. After all, there’s less stress and more fun to be had when you learn to let go and remember you’re human like everyone else.
With a great message and engaging illustrations, I highly recommend this adorable picture book.

I did not know what to expect from this book. Several of my colleagues said that I had to read it and make sure I read it to my students. School starts in several weeks, so I will have to let you know how it is received my it’s target audience. However, I truly enjoyed this book. 💕📙
The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes had me smiling and laughing from the very beginning. The concept seems absurd, but the message is valuable. We all make mistakes. Let’s embrace them and learn from them.
Check out this book for yourself. You will definitely enjoy it. 😀

This book is a gentle chiding of perfectionism. I could totally relate to Beatrice, because I was (and still am, sometimes) much the same way. Beatrice is so careful never to make a mistake that she often ends up missing out; because she's not sure if she'll be able to do something perfectly, she won't even try.
You do have to suspend disbelief a little bit, as some parts of the story are a little unbelievable. She's a celebrity because she's never made a mistake. Her hamster is a little too sentient. But beyond that, it's a story with a good message about taking risks (like her brother, Carl, or her friends Millie and Sarah, who seem to be having much more fun than perfectionistic Beatrice).
The artwork didn't impress me in the beginning, but it kind of grew on me as the story went on. At least the poor hamster was drawn wearing a helmet (if you're going to juggle the poor thing, the least you can do is give him some protection).
Overall, this is a decent picture book with a good message. It might not be applicable to everybody, but it will probably be appreciated by kids who sometimes miss out on all the fun because they're too afraid of making mistakes.

Read for my toddler's as a story time. This story follows the girl who never makes mistakes named Beatrice. People in the neighborhood don't call her by name, most likely because they don't know, instead they call her by the girl who never made mistakes. Beatrice's younger brother Carl makes lots of mistakes like drawing with his green beans and eating his crayons. Today; however, the start of a small mistake. So small that Beatrice was able to save herself before anyone else noticed. But it worries her and she couldn't stop thinking about it. When she attended her juggling act, she was confident that she will perfect it because she perfected every time before. But, instead of the salt shaker for one of the items she used for juggling, she mistakenly grabbed the pepper shaker. It made her hamster sneezes. The hamster is her second juggling item.. the third item she used in her juggling act... well you wouldn't be able to guess it! I'm surprised by the items myself! A great story and illustrations!

I do wish that this story wasn’t quite so obviously didactic, but I really enjoyed it anyway.
There are things that I should have found objectionable: the eggs and the hamster’s part in the act are examples.
But I found this book so utterly charming, from the first page when the reader is introduced to Beatrice Bottomwell (what a great name!) and her routine, all the way to the end. It was so obvious what was coming, but it was done in a cleverer way than I’d anticipated.
The pictures are engaging and expressive and colorful and fun. They’re really cute and I love all the little details, from the dad preparing a meal to the specific things taped to the fridge.
Despite the glaring message, I would recommend this for group discussions about perfection and risk, etc. I think this book would also be a good one for children who struggle with perfectionism. It would also make a good bibliotherapy book. This book would be handy to have in the home, school classrooms/libraries, and children’s hospital settings. I can imagine some lively group and one to one discussions resulting from reading/listening to and viewing this story.

I really liked this book . I enjoyed it so much because sometimes I feel pressure that everything that I do has to be perfect but this book showed me that even the most perfect people make mistakes big and small.

Beatrice has never made a mistake in her whole entire life. Every morning when she wakes up, she follows the exact same routine. She wake ups, puts on matching socks, makes the same peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and is always prepared for school. There’s nothing out of the ordinary going on. In contrast, her young brother Carl is always making messes and he’s perfectly happy living life the way that he does. Throughout the book, there are moments where you can tell that Beatrice battles with the pressures of being perfect and the anxiety that’s occasionally looming over her. I think that those moments are powerful teachable moments we can pursue with our students.
I struggle with perfectionism and this book really resonated with me. I think it does a great job of relating to people who are afraid of making mistakes. I think it’s extremely important to teach to our younger kids that making mistakes is a part of growing up. Without them, we wouldn’t have as much to learn from. As a teacher, it’s so hard for me to really get that point across when there are educational pressures such as standardized testing and school report cards that force this habit of perfectionism. That’s why I believe that all educators should make a spirited effort in eradicating these beliefs.
In the future I’ll definitely incorporate these into my SEL lessons. I also think that it fits perfectly into the growth mindset revolution! Some questions that could potentially go with this lesson could be:
How does it feel to make a mistake? Is it different when we make mistakes in front of friends? Family? A group of strangers?
Why do you think Beatrice slept so soundly after the talent show?
Let’s think about Beatrice and her brother Carl. What were their differences? What were their similarities? (Potential brainstorming about their character qualities)

A wonderful story to tell young kids that sometimes it is ok to make mistakes. That mistakes can bring a smile to someone's face and they can't be all bad.

3.5 stars Although the pictures were not my favorite, I appreciated the message this book offered. Beatrice never makes mistakes. Never. In fact, people in town begin to refer to her as "the girl who never makes mistakes". And then one day, she does. Make a mistake, that is. And laughs about it and learns that we all make mistakes and that trying too hard to be perfect can make you scared to try new things. My 7 yo daughter and I read this together and it was great because she needed to hear this message.
I also plan to read this to my second graders in the future. A common refrain in my classroom is, "Everybody makes mistakes." "Mistakes are chances to learn." In fact, I often thank students when they make a common mistake because I can then use it as a chance to teach everyone to avoid that particular pitfall.
Reread 8/2018: This is perfect for talking about having a growth mindset with students.

Beatrice never makes mistakes, unlike her brother Carl. She participates and performs well in everything, until her school talent show. Before she knows it, she makes a mistake in the middle of her act! Thankfully, the girl who has never made a mistake laughs it off and is finally like everyone else.
It was a cute book, but kind of a petty way to end the book. I wish it would've been a more meaningful mistake so a lesson could be taken away from it.
It's cute enough to read to a class that has kids that struggle with perfection, and to help them realize that their best is good enough. I like the concept of the book and how it shows that imperfection is perfectly acceptable.

Great watercolors (but there's no note on making the art, and I love that stuff 😪). The decision to make Beatrice so average -looking was good, as was the decision to put her in overalls. In the same vein I appreciated that he r talent wasn't a stereotype. The point of the book is a good one: not being too afraid of making mistakes.
But contrasting Beatrice with Carl (looking like Calvin) works against the story. She is significantly older than him, and appears to be charged with his care to some extent. And she's a celebrity. How many girls will take this business of carelessly laughing off her failure as just another responsibility?
The authors almost certainly never intended anyone to read the book that way, but there you go. I worry. Probably it's all the responsibility.

I think this book is a great opportunity to frame “mistakes” in a positive and exciting light. It does a great job demonstrating the unintentional pressure that a child may feel when their viewed as “perfect” by the adults/peers in their life. I do wish the book had some sort of acknowledgment from the adults for how they inadvertently affected Beatrice.

This story connected to myself in a lot of ways , as a Virgo for some odd reason I always want everything to be perfect what I had to realize is that Is not life and mistakes happen that doesn’t make me any less than the next person . This book will also be amazing for children to get an understanding that NOONE is perfect ! It’s ok to fail and get back Up and try again

I am an unashamed fan of this book: in an age when Carol Dweck's growth mindset is such a familiar concept in every UK primary classroom and many abroad, it is perhaps surprising that televised family entertainment and talent shows still often polarise success and failure, with winners receiving rewards of wealth and losers the scorn of shame in a way we would no longer consider acceptable in school. Mark Pett's endearing picture book provides an excellent opportunity to help children discover the reality that we all experience failure - and our development and wellbeing is so much stronger if we don't fear it but build positively upon it.
Similar to a celebrity, Beatrice is greeted by fans as she leaves her home to head to school - indeed people don't even know her name - because they instead know her famously as 'the girl who never makes any mistakes'. Ever. The reader might be persuaded into thinking such a life would be joyful, but Mark Pett shows us inside Beatrice's head and heart, revealing her self-destructive fears of making a mistake and the potential consequences it would bring upon her reputation.
Her brother Carl loves taking risks and experimenting, taking the falls and mishaps that sometimes ensue in his stride; but Beatrice even turns down skating with her friends, for fear she might fall over and look silly. Eventually of course, the inevitable happens: Beatrice makes a hugely embarrassing mistake, and comes to realise that resiliently growing from it, as opposed to fearing it and avoiding it, gives her a life that is so much more enjoyable and successful. Of course, that brings an end to her fame and celebrity status. But she discovers there is something far more special about everyone knowing her just as Beatrice, the person she really is.
In the classroom, we seek to reassure children so that they do not stifle their learning for fear of making a mistake; or become so competitive towards each other that failure presents a barrier of anxiety that stops them learning. This is a wonderful way for children to experience high-stakes failure through living the story with Beatrice and sharing her emotions, without having to actually make that journey of discovery by themselves. Perhaps that is the greatest joy of reading fiction (or even biography): through sharing characters' lives, we can make their journey alongside them and gain all the benefits of their experiences for ourselves. When mistakes come in school this term, I hope every child will take it in their stride, just like Beatrice does.

Written for the sole purpose of discussing perfectionism, it ignores why kids feel like they can't make mistakes. Heavy-handed message.

Summary:
Beatrice was the girl who never made mistakes. However, she almost dropped eggs for cooking and then becomes nervous about the talent show. She gets up on stage and everything is going well until she realizes she brought her pepper shaker instead of her salt shaker and her pet sneezes. She makes a mistake but laughs, and then realizes that it's okay to make mistakes.
Evaluation:
I gave this book 4 out of 5 because the illustrations were great and I loved the story line and message of the story that it's okay to make a mistake.
Teaching Point:
I think this book would be great for teaching students it's okay to make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's even better to laugh at our mistakes instead of getting upset about them.

Bu kitap bana birsürü anıyla beraber geldi. Mükemmeliyetçi yetiştirilmiş çocukların kendi üzerlerinde kurdukları baskı ve hata yapmayı ne kadar ayıp bir şeymiş gibi algılamaları, yaş aldıkça artık bu durumun bir karakteristik özellikleri haline geldiği ve her şeyi en doğru şekilde yapmaya çalışırken kendilerini ne kadar yıprattıkları bazen uzun süreler farkedilmiyor :,)
herkese gösterdiğin sevgi ve anlayışı öncelikle sen hakediyorsun, senin de hata yapma hakkın var ki yapmalısın da. Unutma ki ben seni hata yaptığında da seveceğim hem zaten hata yapmadan doğrusunu nasıl öğreneceksin ki? Küçücük omuzlarında “yetişkin” sorumluluklarını taşıyarak büyümüş bütün çocuklar için. ❤️

Looking for books to help my SD with her worries about making mistakes. This one was great. Not didactic. Cute illustrations. Humorous events. Made me smile. Perhaps the deeper meanings may have gone over my SD's head, but at least I can refer to the book once in a while and we can laugh at our mistakes.
