Reviews

"The brief text is in a jaunty rhyming format, and its enthusiasm is mirrored in the illustrations...This will have broad appeal." -- Booklist "Pair with Andrea Beaty's Ada Twist, Scientist for a terrific session on the trial and error of tinkering and problem-solving. A recommended general purchase." -- School Library Journal
