The Spill Tail: Oops! Spill, spill... tail grows big! (OOPS HAS A TAIL)
What happens after a preschooler makes a mistake?
In The Spill Tail, an ordinary little spill turns into something very unusual.
Ruvvi is happily building a tiny harbor when "oops " water spills across the floor.
Drip. Splash. Squish.
Then a shiny blue tail appears.
As the mess spreads, the tail grows longer and longer. But the tail is not there because Ruvvi is "bad." It is a funny, visible clue that the mistake has left something that still needs help.
So Ruvvi stops, looks, tells a grown-up, and begins helping with the mess.
