Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty

My husband is a computer engineer.  So when I saw a children's book that had to do with a child who wanted to be an engineer, I jumped right on it (or bought it).  This is a newer book so don't expect to find it in a thrift store or even for really cheap used anytime soon.

Why won't you find it at a thrift store?  Umm...because it's a totally awesome, sweet book!  Whoever gives this book up to a thrift store is crazy craze.  It's wonderful, fantastic, superb!  I can't say enough how much I love this.

And it's for BOTH genders....  as this does have relation to women's workforce during the world war, a boy and a girl can both enjoy this story.

Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty

 This story starts with a girl name Rosie whose fear of criticism keeps her from sharing her inventions and engineering to others.

As she tries to invent things that would help others, but after being laughed at with one of her projects, she wonders if she could really become an engineer.  Rosie will learn from a great relative with history that she doesn't need to worry about what others are thinking and what everyone else does.  She only needs to believe in herself and see the bigger picture in how her inventions help others.

Now tell me that's not a story your child should hear.

 This book is in a rhyme and let me tell you, it's quite clever.

 The illustrations are spectacular.  The color is amazing and the drawings are just done perfectly that it even keeps my 2 year old's eyes on the pages.

There is another book that's related to this one that's out there that I have as well.  I'll definitely get that one on this blog real soon.  They are both worth paying full price for.  But you can purchase this book for a great price on Amazon.  Don't expect this book to be on Thriftbooks anytime soon.  If it does go on there, it will be for the same price as buying a new one on Amazon.  Click below to purchase!  You WON'T regret it!
