A new addition to the Questioneers series sees Ada Twist ask lots of questions about flight. How do things fly? Is it a mystery? A puzzle or a quest? Why are aeroplanes the shape they are? Why can’t birds fly as soon as they are born?
This full-colour, non-fiction, early reader series based on the Ada Twist, Scientist series is going to be so popular in the classroom for KS1 and lower Ks2. With age appropriate text, real images and diagrams, who wouldn’t want to read and learn more?
Discover everything there is to know about flight, including about creatures that fly and the history of aircraft. Curiosity has never been so easy to access and so brilliantly documented. I LOVE it and so will my students.
This story follows Aaron, a boy who loves stories but struggles with writing due to his difficulty in deciphering letters. But when his turn to write a story for the class comes around, inspiration strikes, and he finds another way to share his tale through the pictures he draws.
This book is part of a larger series that has gained popularity in schools, and for good reason. The other titles, such as Rosie Revere, Engineer and Iggy Peck, Architect are also engaging and give validity to the talents and strengths of each individual.
We love Aaron Slater, Illustrator as an empowering storytime read that can also lead to discussions about helping individuals find ways to personally thrive as well as touching on themes of dyslexia and the power of art.
A new rhyming picture book from the popular Questioneers series (popular for Rosie Revere, Engineer & Iggy Peck, Architect). Sofia Valdez is a Mexican-American girl who campaigns for improvements in her local area, showing the difference that individual voices can make when they engage and get involved with their communities.
We love this story featuring a girl called Rosie who has a passion for inventing and a dream of becoming a famous engineer. Along the way Rosie must learn how to respond to mistakes. When one of her inventions crashes to the ground, Rosie must choose between giving up on her dreams or listening to her Great-Great-Aunt’s wise advice about embracing mistakes positively and using them to learn something new.
This book was a breath of fresh air when first published – such a valuable addition to STEM, with faultless rhyme and brilliant illustrations. Ada, a curious young girl, embarks on scientific explorations, undeterred by challenges. Her story promotes perseverance and intellectual curiosity, encouraging children to ask questions and value their inquisitive nature, thereby building confidence in their problem-solving abilities.
Iggy Peck is a young boy with a passion for building. No matter what materials he has to hand (from apples to nappies), he manages to use them to construct another new amazing creation. When Iggy’s new teacher bans building, Iggy will have to find a way to convince her that his architecture skills are very useful indeed. There is also an accompanying STEM activity book.
