The next Dr Seuss?

This is a great story told in rhyme about how failure is key to success. Great for reading aloud or young readers. This is my first Beaty book & I will be checking out other books by this author. The lyrical quality is reminiscent of Dr Seuss in all the best ways.

The illustrations are fine, but not top notch - the adults frequently look like they modeled for the claymation movies. Ick.

The text deserves five stars, but the illustrations drop it to four. I checked this book from the library but will be adding it to our collection. Highly recommend.
