A Perfectly Messed-Up Story
A Perfectly Messed-Up Story | Patrick McDonnell
6 posts | 11 read | 2 to read
In this interactive and engaging read-aloud, bestselling author and award-winning artist Patrick McDonnell creates a funny, engaging, and almost perfect story about embracing life's messes. Little Louie's story keeps getting messed up, and he's not happy about it! What's the point of telling his tale if he can't tell it perfectly? But when he stops and takes a deep breath, he realizes that everything is actually just fine, and his story is a good one--imperfections and all.

While I appreciate the message behind this,I found it hard to “read”. My love of books deemed this a horror story. 😱😂🤣 #childrensbook

mandarchy My students LOVE this book. I read it every year at the start of school. It really has 3 voices, the narrator, Louie, and you. 2y
Sharpeipup @mandarchy It was fun but I couldn‘t help twitching with each stain on the page 😂🤣 2y

I just read this 18 times to students K through 5th grade for the 6th year in a row and it's still a hit with them. I love to tell the big kids how it has 3 voices: the narrator, Louie, and the reader. They can't get enough. #rereadfordetails #readoutloud

#MayMovieMagic Day 7: If your #RedRightHand is holding a peanut butter and red jelly sandwich while reading, this might happen. Don‘t you just love mixed-media and the wonders of technology? Something as life-like as this would hardly have been possible a century ago in children‘s book publication. My review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-9bq
