One apology, increasingly large consequences

Clare forgets to say sorry after making a mistake, and the omission sets off a chain of increasingly extravagant obstacles. Dragons, trolls, polar explorers and an angry flotilla of fishermen all become part of her attempt to put things right. The picture-book adventure gives its manners theme a clear narrative hook: a small, familiar social rule is placed against a wildly expanding cast of complications. Its central subject is the importance of apologizing, with the escalating mishaps offering a way into conversations about mistakes and making amends.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Families looking for a picture book about manners and saying sorry
  • Children aged 3 and up, as indicated in the title
  • Readers who enjoy imaginative adventures featuring dragons, trolls and explorers

Book overview

**A laugh-out-loud picture book about the power of saying sorry**
**Good manners have never been so much fun!**

Everyone knows you should always say sorry when you make a mistake.
But when Clare forgets this very important rule (OOPS!), things spiral wildly out of control . . .

Suddenly, the consequences are bigger, bolder and stranger than Clare could ever have imagined - with dragons, trolls, polar explorers and a whole flotilla of extremely furious fishermen standing between her and putting things right.

A riotous, fast-paced adventure that proves one small word can make a very big difference, this is the perfect picture book for sparking laughter, conversations and repeat reads.

From the bestselling, award-winning author of You Must Bring a Hat and I Really Want the Cake (shortlisted for the Waterstones Children's Book Prize), and illustrated by the creator of Think Big by Kes Grey.
