I read Rosie Revere, Engineer a few years ago and enjoyed it. I saw this at the library and had to see what it was all about.
I loved this book. It’s everything I loved about the Rosie Revere picture book with more detail. My only issue with the picture book was that it was a bit vague and felt rushed. I liked reading it, but I loved this chapter book format. So much more happened and you got to know the characters better. I also love that Ada Twist from Ada Twist, Scientist and Iggy Peck from Iggy Peck, Architect are featured in the series. It is so cool to see the group of characters as friends who solve problems together.
Great story. Loved all the messages of working together, stopping to think, perseverance, helping others, and thinking outside the box. I could not put this book down. I honestly read it all this morning in one sitting.
At the end of the book is some bonus material including an “Ode to a Valve” (which was adorable and amazing!) as well as more information about valves and the actual Riveters.
Such a great book to encourage interest in STEM fields. Fun, creative series. I will definitely be continuing the series. Love it!
