From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2-Jack is in really big trouble with his mom-he's in a time-out and she's using his full name, Jackson-for making "one little mistake." What's the big deal? he thinks. "Everybody makes mistakes." There was the time he lost his mittens and hat and Mom told him to wear his sister's to school. "No one will notice," she said. Big mistake. There was the waitress who thought he was a girl. And there was the time at school that he carefully set his snack down next to him, only to have his teacher sit on it. But today, before getting ready for his uncle's wedding, he actually made three mistakes. Playing beauty shop with his sister, he used gum to hold her new coiffure in place, did her nails up to her knuckles, and made up her face with blue and red permanent markers. At the party, the happy couple finds the whole thing amusing. Then, dancing away, the bride bumps into Mom, spilling punch on her. The premise of this story is promising, but it fails to capture the imagination completely. The examples of others' mistakes border on slapstick at times, and the humor seems forced. Decker's watercolor-and-ink illustrations are pleasant but don't totally carry a weak plot. Bernard Waber's Nobody Is Perfick (Houghton, 1991) and Janet Morgan Stoeke's "Minerva Louise" series (Dutton) remain better choices.-Roxanne Burg, Orange County Public Library, CA
