    Dustys Big Oops!: Book Cover

    Dusty’s Big Oops!

    Written by Tammy Fortune

    Illustrated by Pieter Els and Nika Pieterse

    Ages 5-11 | 32 Pages

    Publisher: Tammy’s Toolbox, LLC (2022) | ISBN-13: 9781734694956

    What to Expect: School, pets, social-emotional learning, anxiety, literacy skills

    It’s pet day, and Dusty, the dog, can’t wait to go to school and meet all Danny’s friends! Excited as he feels, however, Dusty can’t help feeling a little bit worried.

    What if the kids don’t like him? What if he makes a mistake? Dusty’s tummy feels wobbly as he thinks about everything that could go wrong. Then, things do go wrong! Dusty’s waggy tail starts a chain reaction of chaos! Luckily, Mrs. Maloney is there to remind everyone that mistakes are just mistakes—everyone makes them, and it’s okay. Will pet day turn out to be fun after all?

    Many children feel anxious or worried when thinking about new and unknown situations. By showing anxiety through the eyes of a pet, Dusty’s Big Oops! not only helps readers understand that anxiety is a normal and natural emotion but that mistakes are also natural and nothing to worry about. Dusty’s mistakes are funny and relatable, brought to life by lively digital animations that emphasize positive emotions. Discussion points and questions at the front and back of the book and additional linked website activities help readers continue to think about feelings and how to handle them after the story ends.

    Dusty’s Big Oops! is a funny and engaging way to explore anxiety with young readers.
