Brilliant illustrated story that helps children, starting from 4 years old, to visualize with humor and logic, how mistakes and failures are the springboard to grow and achieve success in the goals or tasks that any human being sets.

Genial cuento ilustrado que ayuda a los niños, a partir de los 4 años, a visualizar con humor y lógica, cómo los errores y fracasos son el trampolín para crecer y alcanzar el éxito en las metas o tareas que cualquier ser humano se proponga.

David’s day could not have been worse. He messed up the soccer game, made mistakes on his spelling test, and failed miserably in his swimming lesson. David wishes that we could live in a world without mistakes or failures. That would be ideal.

David soon regrets his wish. The refrigerator in the kitchen disappears and so does the supermarket next to his house. All the conveniences he takes for granted vanish. Even his cat, Einstein, gives up.

David comes to realize that a world without failure is not a happy place to be. No progress can be made unless mistakes and failures happen first.

This book teaches children the impossibility of perfection and the necessity to try even though it may lead to failure. Especially recommended for children in the four to eight-year-old age range.

A very nice little book.
It is about a kid, who is frustrated with his mistakes. He gets so fed up that he wishes mistakes disappear from reality. He falls asleep and dreams of a world with no mistakes. He is surprised to see that a world with no mistakes is also a world with no evolution, no progress, and no learning. He wakes up, very received to normal reality.
This story is well thought, fun and engaging. The message is good and clear, comes through in an interesting way.
The illustrations are appealing. A mix of manga with soft, nice watercolors style. I would recommend this book for all young girls and boys.

A wonderful little book

I loved this story. It teaches kids an essential lesson, one which even adults need to be reminded of sometimes.

The drawings were quite nice as well.

I would love it if this book was available in Romanian as well. I am looking to gift it to my cousin's kids in the future and they don't speak English yet.

Looking forward to check out more books by the author.

Highly recommend reading this book.

This children's book, with beautiful illustrations by Maima W Adiputri, teaches about the value of failing, and how nothing would be achieved without some failures along the way. It's a great way to show children that, and to promote perseverance, and its fabulous combination of sweet story and lovely pictures really does provide a gorgeous book that children will enjoy.
