Embarrassed Ferret

在森林學校的這一天，小雪貂的「糗事」一件接著一件──摔倒、打翻亮粉、手黏在膠水裡、上廁所還被衛生紙纏上鞋！她滿臉通紅，覺得自己實在太丟臉了。直到她發現，原來同學們也都會出錯。沒有人是完美的，而「出糗」也能成為笑著分享的時刻。本書以輕快押韻的文字與Andrea Tsurumi活潑的畫筆，描繪孩子在面對尷尬時的真實情緒，溫柔地提醒：每個人都會犯錯，但接納自己，才是最可愛的樣子。

When every oopsie is followed by an uh-oh, little Ferret's embarrassment grows. How will she survive the day at Forest School?

Ferret strolled to school in style,
All silky fur and cheerful smile,

Until she tripped on someone’s duffle
And caused herself a slight kerfuffle.

From there her day gets worse and worse.
Embarrassment is Ferret’s curse!

Pencils spilled. Stubborn glue.
Toilet paper on her shoe!

There is one thing that helps her through.
Surprise! She’s just like me and you.

Ferret trips while getting off the bus, makes a gigantic glitter mess at craft time, urgently has to pee at recess, and gets toilet paper on her shoe! But when others in the classroom goof up in equally embarrassing ways, Ferret is relieved to discover that nobody's perfect.
