Reach for this book when your child is spiraling after a small mistake or feeling 'silly' for forgetting a basic rule. It is an ideal balm for the perfectionist child who takes their blunders too seriously. Through a series of short, episodic chapters, we meet Mr. Twiddle, a well-meaning but incredibly forgetful and muddled elderly man who constantly finds himself in ridiculous scrapes. While his wife, Mrs. Twiddle, provides a firm but patient foil to his antics, the stories maintain a lighthearted tone that emphasizes the humor in human error. These tales serve as a gentle bridge for children aged 5 to 8, helping them transition from the frustration of 'getting it wrong' to the relief of being able to laugh at oneself. It is a wonderful choice for modeling that while mistakes have consequences, they do not define our worth or our place in the family.
