A fun and funny way for kids to learn about mistakes and how to recover from them.
Making a mistake can leave anyone feeling sick in the stomach or thinking that the world is going to end. Learning how to cope with mistakes--and how to stop that "ache"--can be one of the hardest parts of growing up. The latest entry in Free Spirit's acclaimed Laugh and Learn(R) series takes a closer look at the mistakes kids make--honest and intentional--and offers practical advice on how to bounce back. With a healthy dose of humor, readers learn that embarrassing moments aren't forever and a sincere apology can go a long way. Laugh & Learn(R) SeriesRealistic topics, practical advice, silly jokes, fun illustrations, and a kid-centric point of view all add up to one of the most popular series young people turn to for help with school, families, siblings, and more. Kids ages 8-13 can tote these pocket-size guides anywhere and learn to slash stress, give cliques and rude people the boot, get organized, behave becomingly, and, in general, hugely boost their coping skills.
