A highly entertaining, educational, and fun book. This is such a fantastic series. Great for fans of the first book as well as the picture book series. 

Personally, I like the chapter books more than the picture books. It's just easier to really get to know the characters in chapter book form. 

There are also great illustrations that keep the book fun and entertaining. 

Wonderful read. I can't wait for future books in this series.

For more reviews, check out my blog: Craft-Cycle I absolutely loved this book.  The rhyme scheme was fantastic, very smooth and rhythmic. I have read Rosie Revere Engineer and Ada Twist Scientist and while I really enjoyed them, I think this one has the best flow.  The writing was also very good with an intriguing story. I loved the contrast between Iggy and his teacher and how everything came together at the end. The pictures were also wonderful. It was so interesting seeing all of the various structures made with different objects (chalk, apples, shoelaces). A very fun read.

An adorable picture book about a young scientist who never stops asking questions. 

Obviously I loved the focus on a girl interested in a STEM field, but I also kind of liked that she's a bit of a trouble maker. At first seeing her writing on the walls irked me and I can only imagine how exhausting it is for her parents to hear nonstop questions, but when I thought about it some more, I think it allows for a really good teaching moment about girls not focusing on being well-behaved all the time. She wasn't naughty on purpose. She's just naturally curious and doesn't let herself miss out on learning opportunities because it might inconvenience someone else. I think that is a really big takeaway and an important lesson. 

Fun illustrations. It was really cool to see Rosie from Rosie Revere, Engineer show up. So far I am loving The Questioneers books (only read Rosie Revere and the Raucous Riveters: The Questioneers Book #1so far) so it was fun to read about Ada in the original picture book.

Ada Twist, Scientist was labeled as a best seller on Amazon, and after reading it, I could see why.

I loved that it had a little girl as the curious scientist. That it started with her being slightly 'abnormal' in the fact that she didn't talk until she was three. Ada Twist was all over the place, wanting to learn, and it was fun to see and to read. The fact that the family was not white was also a pleasant addition to Ada Twist, Scientist.

Even though this was a book about a little girl scientist, my favorite line in the book had nothing to do with that. It was simply a portion that talked about how the parents adapted to their curious child and encouraged her, because that's what good parents do. That's what we try to do with our child, even though she's not precisely science minded. Whenever possible, we try to help her explore and be informed. That is  what good parents do. It also showed that helping them explore and be informed doesn't mean letting them do whatever they want. Sadly, I think that is a distinction that does actually need to be made for some parents.

The verse in Ada Twist, Scientist was fun and easy to read. The illustrations were cute and informative. This is a well-made, encouraging book that empowers little girls. I loved it and highly recommend it!

I wasn't as impressed by this one as I was with Ada Twist, Scientist. The weird internal half rhymes made it difficult to find a rhythm when reading. And I think the meter was inconsistent which didn't help. I can't remember anything particularly noteworthy about the illustrations either. Not a bad book, just not for me.
