Ada Twist, Scientist: A Picture Book (The Questioneers)

This book is so great and inspiring. We love this whole series. When they are on sale I will get extra copies and give them as birthday gifts; either alone or with another one from the set. They are so great for kids to see what is possible and also learn about friendship and life lessons in a sweet way.

These books are some of my favorite to read to my 11 year old!

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!

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!

My kids love these books! My 7 year old goes around just randomly saying “Ada Twist, Scientist” over and over again because she loves the sound of it coming off her tongue. The stories and illustrations are awesome, and I love how they encourage our kids to tap into who God made them to be as individuals. Ada Twist is my daughter’s favorite of them so far (we’re hoping there will be more to come), so it has me paying attention to her love for science and how we can encourage that along. It’s given me more insight into my own kid because I thought “Rosie Revere Engineer” would be her favorite. She loves Rosie, for sure, but Ada Twist ended up being her favorite. My son likes “Iggy Peck Architect” the most, so it’s interesting to see what each of them are drawn to. I asked my son if he just preferred Iggy because he’s a guy (wondering if he could relate more to the guy than to the 2 girls), but he said it’s just a really funny book and he likes “all the architect stuff”. It’s always nice when a series of books comes along to give you more insight into the beautiful way God has made each of your kids as individuals, and shows you how you might encourage them along in who they’re wired to be. As a family, we’re hoping to see more and more books in this series to add to our home library.

Ada Twist is one of my favorite books to read to my daughter, in large part because she loves it and requests it regularly, but also because of the story. The sing-song nature of the rhyme makes it easy to plow through if you're on "Just one more..." for the fourth time, but the pictures and story also lend themselves to a leisurely reading session filled with tons questions from the little one. Asking questing is key to the story, and I've found myself having to discuss and sometimes explain all sorts of topics mid reading, everything from "why do we have to flip the page" to "why is the cat looking at Ada?" brings about a different world. Highly recommend this book, as well as Rosie Revere, Engineer which is also part of the series (and rosie even makes an appearance in the drawings of Ms. Greer's classroom! Great for boys and girls who have an inquiring mind.

This is one of our favorite book series. My 5 year old LOVES these books, and to be honest, so do I. Each book has a great message but they all tie together well through Lila Greers class. My kids get excited to point out all the characters and what they aspired to be in EACH book and they know them all. A couple of these even had me choked up. 10/10 would recommend for everyone.

5 year old loves it. Great Can Do / Never Give Up messages to inspire little scientists

Mi hija tiene 4 años y le encanta. Las ilustraciones son geniales, el texto es con rima (cosa que nos encanta) y el contenido empodera. Muy buen cuento infantil

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.

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.

Lots of curious things to engage younger readers…with lots of links to Science hidden throughout the the text
