Illustrated by David Roberts 4 stars An adorable picture book about a young scientist who never stops asking questions. Obviously I loved the focus on a girl interested in a STEM field, but I also kind of liked that she’s a bit of a trouble maker. She definitely makes mistakes and gets a bit caught…

4 stars I really love this series. This is a great addition to it. Very silly and entertaining. You just can’t help but like Mildred Hubble. This is a pretty quick read filled with lots of adventure.
