Ada Twist, Scientist: A Image Ebook (The Questioneers)

GREAT book, especially for little girls!
I volunteer with a reading program, and purchased this as a gift for the child I worked with last school year. I love that it was aimed right for her sweet spot, the child in the book is bright and inquisitive, just like she is. She promised to read it over the summer so that we can talk about it when school starts in August. As a note, its hard to judge the difficulty level as at that age, kids have vastly different reading comprehension skills. I think it was perfect for the awesome child I worked with.

Great Story, in Pristine Condition!
This seller rated the book as very good, yet it was like brand new, never touched. A lovely surprise!Like it’s Rosie cousin, this book is as fun for the adult to read as for the children. It introduces some advanced vocabulary and has a lesson too, all wrapped in some of the best rhyming verse I’ve ever enjoyed….and I’ve enjoyed a lot as a parent of two boys, one an adult with special needs. “The kid thing” gets old after 21 strait years but I’ll never tire of this story. My son loved it! Together we’ll unwrap the meaning of words like hypothesis, havoc, mockingbirds, frazzled, high-flying, resulted and pungent, who’s use in the story are perfectly perfect. And like a good movie, it makes you cry a little as watch the awakening young Ada, and then discover Mom and Dad grow too! Thanks Andrea Beaty and David Roberts – You never disappoint!

Great book! A reminder that Genius doesn’t come wrapped in a bow
As a parent who has had to read Iggy Peck Architect to my daughter every night for the last year- despite the fact that she knows every word by memory- I have to say that this is a great addition to the 3 book tome. While I love Rosie Revere and the great message it sends to girls, my daughter hasn’t fallen in love with it as much as I have. Ada Twist Scientist while still not in our nightly reading pile–Iggy still is–has managed to make it in at least 2/3 times a week. My daughter loves it-again not quite as much as Iggy Peck but more than Rosie Revere. It’s a great story in that it’s a reminder that gifted children come in many forms. The Einsteins of the world are messy, constantly questioning to the point of annoyance, and constantly testing. It’s a reminder to parents that genius doesn’t come in a neatly wrapped bow there is quite a bit of mess that comes with genius. It also shows how important it is to allow your children to be children, let them ask questions, let them seek and find answers to those questions, yes it’ll be messy, inconvenient even, but ultimately you’re supporting your child in developing and becoming an intelligent and productive human being. This book is definitely my new favorite, Rosie Revere is a close second and Iggy Peck is great too. Buy all three you will not regret the purchase!

Incredible and great for Autism parents
Just as awesome as Iggy Peck. Not as awesome as Rosie Revere. On par with Madame Chapeau. This pair can do no wrong. I love the implication that the main character may be “on the spectrum” without having to discuss it or call her out. She just is who she is and everyone is happy with that. LOVE that the main character is a little girl and she is black. I have two little boys who are white and I want them to be exposed to this example, which is much more realistic than the way that TV portrays people of color.On a less serious note; The illustrations could not be better. Spunky style and the boys loved looking for Rosie and Iggy on some of the pages. They laughed out loud as usual and begged to read it again right away. I could not recommend it highly enough. If you havent read the others, drop what you are doing right this minute and get them.

We love the whole series. It’s a rare kind of children’s book, the kind that you can give to a 2 year old but that they will still be reading at 4-5 years old.

We have Iggie Peck the Architect book and he loved it. So we added to the collection Ada Twist. My son makes me read him that book every night. He absolutely loves the book. Money well spent.

this book is a great favorite with my daughters. nicely rhymed, well illustrated and a story that, I hope, inspires them in the future
