Aunt Rose has accomplished everything she's ever wanted on her long bucket list. Until one day (and thankfully, there is a "one day" for Rosie as I hope there is a "one day" for all of us), her great-great-aunt Rose tells tales of the things she's done in her long, full life. She stuck the cheese hat on the back of her shelfĪnd after that day kept her dreams to herself. "Oh, truly I do."īut Rosie Revere knew that could not be true. She looked at the cheese hat and then looked away. Who stood there embarrassed, perplexed, and dismayed. He laughed till he wheezed and his eyes filled with tears, For him, she creates a hat made of parts of a fan and cheddar cheese spray to keep snakes off his head. She invents contraptions for anyone and everyone, including for her favorite zookeeper-uncle Fred. In her spare time, when no one is looking, and after her lights should be out, she happily creates gadgets and gizmos. Young Rosie is a shy girl who dreams of becoming a great engineer. Now there is Rosie Revere, Engineer, a book about Iggy Peck's classmate Rosie. While Lorelei brought in a flimsy paperback about sparkly fairies, her classmate brought in these two gems by Andrea Beaty. Hands down, this is THE BEST children's book I've read in 2013!įirst there was Iggy Peck, Architect, a book that Lorelei discovered from a student whose parents were clearly more concerned about her literary future than Lorelei's parents.
