For Zach, a class field trip to the museum is about more than cool exhibits—it's about learning from mistakes and dealing with embarrassment. His teacher helps him see that everyone makes mistakes—and how to use them to grow. Using an easy-to-remember tool, the Key to Mistakes, she shows Zach and readers a simple three-step process: Detect (find the reason for the mistake), Correct (fix the mistake if you can), and Reflect (think back about your mistake to find what you can learn from it). Family counselor and psychotherapist Mulcahy wrote the Zach Rules series to teach children social skills and provide practical coping tools for working through the issues that are typical of kids ages 5 to 8.The "Zach Rules" series contains five books depicting Zach's different moods. All are also sold separately. Illustrations by Darren McKee.
