Description
**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.
