Another great read, in this fantastic picture book series, with more design references in the illustrations and a great message about not giving up on your dreams because other people don't understand what your doing (that's an awesome message for grownups too!). Another book I'll be recommending to patrons looking for well drawn, well written picture books.

Rhyming picture book about a young girl who loves to invent contraptions for her family members. She becomes embarrassed when her uncle and aunt laugh at her inventions, and stops inventing. Eventually she learns to take chances and persist with her inventions. Good historical connection with Rosie the Riveter.

A very cute and uplifting picture book about not being afraid of failure. The main character Rosie, is scared off from her engineering endeavors when someone laughs at one of her projects. She later learns that when one fails, one can find what DID work in their initial attempt and use that to try again and improve.

Any book that supports girls becoming Engineers is okay with me. They just needed more confidence in Rosie. I did love all of the facts about women and flying. Very cool.

Great no matter the gender of your child, but especially important for little girls. Rosie Revere wants to be an engineer, and she comes up with fabulous inventions. But when her favorite relative laughs at one of her creations, she becomes disheartened, and never wants to invent again. It's only the inspiration of her high-flying aunt that pushes Rosie to give it another try. And further tries, when that try fails.
This book's greater message is about the important of perseverance and trial and error. Very important for young children, just learning how to do pretty much everything. Rosie is very relate-able, and will hopefully be accepted by children of all genders.
Quite suitable for a school storytime, and this would pair well with a unit about building, perhaps accompanied by play with Legos, Knex, or similar.

A delightful follow up to Iggy Peck Architect with lovely illustrations and a cameo by Rosie the Riveter.

I thoroughly enjoyed this and am looking forward to using it in my classroom. I had picked it up for someone interested in being an engineer but am going to also use it with those who find failing hard - to show them there is always another go.
