Rosie Revere, Engineer teaches readers that making mistakes does not make a person a failure. Readers may enjoy comparing the pictures in all three books. The entertaining story shows how Rosie “kept her dreams to herself.” With the help of her great-great-aunt, Rose learns that “The only true failure can come if you quit.” The ending of the book has the same classroom teacher and diverse students as Iggy Peck, Architect and Ada Twist, Scientist. Many readers will relate to Rosie Revere who is afraid of failing and having someone laugh at her.
Even though Rosie Revere, Engineer is a picture book, the story is intended to be read aloud to a child, rather than for the child to read it for the first time independently. Some of the vocabulary, such as ‘perplexed’ and ‘dismayed,’ may be difficult, and parents will have to explain the meaning. Each page has fun illustrations, short sentences, and rhyming text that will make the story fun to read aloud.
Younger readers will enjoy the full-page illustrations that bring Rosie’s creations to life. Will Rosie find the courage to share her creations, or will they stay hidden under her bed? When her uncle laughs at her creations, Rosie decides it’s best to hide the gizmos she creates. She makes hot dog dispensers, helium pants, and python-repelling cheese hats. During the night, she uses trash and other supplies to construct inventions. Rosie Revere dreams of being a great engineer.
