Editorial 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
