This is essential reading for any young child, particularly girls, who aspire to become engineers. Do check out the historical note at the back of the book that pays tribute to the millions of women around the world that helped provide equipment and supplies for the allied forces during the second world war.

A great book to add a child's personal library! Anyway, onto Rosie Revere, Engineer…Rosie Revere has a dream, and that dream is to become an engineer. Recommended for 6+.

” I do have one issue with that statement, should you keep trying at something that is always going to fail? I think children will be amazed to read that women were involved in the building of ships, aircraft, tanks and vehicles.

Rosie used to love making things for her family but when an uncle laughs at one of her inventions she decides that it is best to keep them hidden under her bed. Andrea Beatty and David Roberts, the creators of Iggy Peck, Architect; are back with a second adventure that epitomises the adage…”If you don’t succeed at first, try and try again. The read challenges gender stereotypes and is packed with positive role models. Determined to make her auntie’s dream come true, Rosie sets about making a flying machine and learns some very valuable lessons along the way.
