Staff Reviews

Rosie Revere Engineer by Andrea Beaty is a great new picture book that is flying off our shelves!  Rosie wants to be an engineer—she loves to design and build amazing gadgets and gizmos—but she’s worried that her inventions might not work.  When her great great aunt visits, Rosie takes a risk and decides to build a flying machine to help her aunt realize her dream of flying, and she learns that failure isn’t something to fear: it’s the first step on the path to success.  There is an endnote in the book that describes how women staffed U.S. factories during World War II when the men were at war.  Ages 4 to 8.
