Rosie Revere, Engineer: 1 (Questioneers)

Product Information

How does the artist show Rosie's many moods? How does she look different when she's happy, sad, disappointed, worried?

The story is a great combination of funky inventions (e.g. SnakeAway, a snake-scaring machine), quirky characters (like Rosie’s great-great-aunt flying on a cheese-copter or her joyful friends, the Raucous Riveters, who built airplanes during the World War II), as well as great messages (dealing with pressure, the power of friendship, overcoming fears). In addition, the book pictures the real process of engineering: brainstorming, research, sketching ideas, design, making prototypes, testing and redesign based on performance. I like the Questioneers series because I like science and engineering as well as art and the books feel like the combination of both subjects. I also like it because the books are like poems. The sentences rhymes. It was fun to read them.This was a delight and a surprise. Maybe my expectations were just very low because my daughter brings home so many random, forgettable books from the library. Based on the title and cover art, I expected this to be a bland little girls-can-be-engineers-too, girly power kind of book. And then it turned out to be more than that and better than that, and I was delighted! Now perhaps if Andrea Beaty's presented poetry had been a trifle less awkward and stumbling (and with that, also not so utterly frustratingly distracting) and if her oh so very much important messages had been less in one's proverbial face and thus not so maddeningly preachy (about being courageous, about not being afraid of making mistakes, about trying again and again if and when disasters do occur, and yes, these are indeed important lessons for EVERYONE), I might have actually enjoyed Rosie Revere, Engineer. Her great-great-aunt Rose visits and mentions to Rosie that she still has one goal to achieve in her life. She wants to fly. Rosie lies awake that night, thinking of how she could help her aunt fly. She came up with the idea of making a cheese-copter.

ROSIE REVERE, ENGINEER is a wonderful book filled with humor, delightful rhyming verse, and colorful, detailed watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations. It has a message to impart, but it does so with a light touch and in the context of a good story with emotional ups and downs. Rosie Revere is quiet by day but at night she is dreaming about creative inventions. When she gets a visit from her Aunt Rose, she is inspired to invent a contraption to fly. Will she be successful? The premise of the book is simply adorable and hilarious. Rosie Revere is precious and should be protected at any and all cost! She loves to build things trinkets, gizmos, and gadgets in secret – why in secret? Rosie was once enthusiastic about her inventions and showed it off to everyone and anyone, but one day, she built an invention for her favorite uncle, but he laughed at her and she curbed her passion in and only does it in secret. It wasn't until her great-great-aunt Rose (Rosie the Riveter) visits her and teaches her that the only failure is the failure to continue – to quit. The Rosie Revere Engineer story, written by Andrea Beaty is a lovely book all about perseverance, the moral of the story is to never give up, and change the mindset of ‘I can’t’ or ‘This won’t work!’ to a more positive ‘I can’ or ‘Let's try!’ attitude.
