A Little Bit of Oomph! / Barney Saltzberg

How do you make the ordinary extraordinary? With a little bit of oomph! An utterly inspiring and playful new book on creativity from Barney Saltzberg, author of Beautiful Oops!, A Little Bit of Oomph! teaches the invaluable lesson of throwing your heart into whatever you re doing and trying just a little bit harder because with a little extra effort and a lot of oomph, you can make anything beautiful.

With a little bit of oomph you can help a sprinkle of seeds lift flap become a magical, three-dimensional bouquet of flowers. With a little bit of oomph, small notions like a goldfish in a little bowl open out to big oceans (just look through the peephole!). Oomph can transform a dog s tail into a funny tale (there s a miniature book involved). Oomph changes curiosity into discovery, daydreams into playthings, your singing into others dancing.

A triumph of imagination, vibrant, colorful art, and paper engineering, A Little Bit of Oomph! is filled with pop-ups, lift-the-flaps, spinning circles and gatefolds and, underlying every page, Barney s timeless message that creativity is for everyone. Just add a little bit of oomph.
