Toast lands butter-side down. Homework stays home. The battery dies at 1%. Sound familiar? Meet Toby Butterfield, age 10. Things go wrong around Toby about as often as they go wrong around everybody else. He just has a talent for noticing. In this funny, fully illustrated book, kids follow Toby through 75 everyday oopses and learn how to stay calm, fix what they can and plan ahead for next time. Every short story ends with a playful "Murphy's Law" kids will recognize right away, like "The homework you finished is the homework you leave at home," plus a quick explanation of why it happens and a practical idea for next time. No lectures, no worksheets, just stories kids actually want to read. Inside, kids will find: - School Oops: lost homework, blank-brain tests, group projects nobody built - Friend Oops: jokes that land wrong, secrets that spread, saying sorry the right way - Home Oops: spills, broken favorites, sibling fights and forgotten chores - Big Feelings: embarrassment, anger, jealousy, nerves and bedtime worries - Tech and Game Oops: lost game progress, messages sent to the wrong person, surprise in-app purchases and staying safe online - Famous Oops: 9 true stories, like a spring that walked off a shelf and became a famous toy, a wallpaper cleaner that turned into modeling dough, two brothers who crashed again and again before they flew, and a children's author whose first book was turned down 27 times - Make Your Own Law: Toby spots his own patterns and figures out small fixes that (mostly) work Also included: Toby's Three Moves (Pause, Think, Fix), optional Dinner Table Talk questions at the end of each chapter, and a one-page Bounce-Back Checklist to keep handy. Kids learn that mistakes happen to everyone, that a big feeling is real but doesn't have to decide what happens next, and that there's almost always a next move. Perfect for ages 8 to 12, for reading alone, reading together or starting family conversations.
