I LOVE all of Andrea Beaty’s books, but Ada Twist, Scientist is probably my favourite! The wonderful rhymes and gorgeous pictures add perfectly to the main theme of this story: asking questions and discovering new things is so important! In a world where science and technology are booming, this book encourages students to think like and act like scientists! Ada Twist would be a great read in a K-2 classroom when talking about being an Engineer and would be a great addition to a text set on engineering.
What do you do with an idea? Do you ignore it? Lock it away? This beautiful and simple book looks at the power of an idea. A great STEM/ STEAM book that illustrates what we can do with ideas.
