A REVIEW OF BOTH ROSIE REVERE, ENGINEER & ADA TWIST, SCIENTIST.

These two books are from a series that started with Iggy Peck, Architect, about a class of children who all have various fascinating interests. With Rosie Revere, Engineer and Ada Twist, Scientist, we're introduced to two girls whose interests are typically considered male interests. But Rosie is a keen inventor and loves solving problems by creating devices, and Ada is full of questions she wants answers to, and will conduct experiments to find out those answers. These books are perfect for little girls who aren't interested in stereotypically girlie interests, with two wonderful role models to inspire them to do what they love - and I don't think I need to say how wonderful it is that little girls of colour have someone like them to look up to in Ada. What's also brilliant is each story has a lesson too; Rosie learns that real failure only comes when you give up, not because something didn't work, and Ada learns there's nothing wrong with asking questions.
