Embark on an adventure of personal creativity and invention with fan favourite Rosie Revere! This activity book features art from the picture book Rosie Revere, Engineer and will inspire young readers with activities of all kinds. Kids will have the chance to design a better bicycle, build a simple catapult, construct a solar oven and more! This empowering activity book will teach problem-solving and creative-thinking skills crucial to STEM fields while also providing opportunities for its readers to try new things and, sometimes, to fail. As the picture book so brilliantly showed hundreds of thousands of young readers, flops are an inevitable part of success and something to be celebrated rather than feared. Created by Andrea Beaty and David Roberts, the same New York Times bestselling team who brought us Rosie Revere, Iggy Peck and Ada Twist, this activity book will be perfect for old and new fans alike!
Review
‘With 40 projects to design, draw and make, this is packed with challenges and perfect for bringing out the budding inventor in every family’ The Sunday Express
‘There are fantastic activities between the ‘makes’ and if you’re the sort of person who can stand to deface a gorgeous book, plenty of space for you to come up with your own designs and ideas (for example making the perfect pie-making machine!) Andrea and David have created a whole world of fabulous characters and stories but it’s fantastic to also have a book like this that lets kids get directly involved, making their own amazing contraptions!’ –Read It Daddy blog
‘Most crucial of all, it reveals that failure is nothing to be ashamed of but in fact along with persistence a crucial part of success. Creativity is essential to engineers, the book says, and there are lots of pages on which children can draw and note down ideas; fun and empowering.’ –LoveReading4Kids.co.uk
‘Empowering and inspiring at the same time. Brilliant stuff.’ Red Reading Hub
‘Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty, illustrated by David Roberts is one of our favourite picture books and this new activity book spin-off is another treat for budding engineers. Rosie Revere’s Big Project Book for Bold Engineers has more than 40 activities and suggestions for things to invent, draw and make. A genius book for budding geniuses.’ –WRD magazine
