Imperfection can sometimes make a child feel inadequate and begin a lifetime of self-esteem issues. Parents and authority figures in our early years sometimes forget to say, "It is okay, I love you anyway," and that is the motivation for Bloopers, Blunders, and Colossal Mistakes. The book features a Solenodon, which is one of the clumsiest and awkward animals in nature, sometimes tripping over their own feet. In the book, he makes every mistake possible, but for the most part is oblivious to his blunders. He gives off the "how did this happen?" vibe, but continues to press forward enjoying his adventures.
