Review:

Audrey liked to learn. She asked plenty of questions and always had her nose in a book. She wanted to know how things worked. Audrey decided that she would become an inventor and wasted no time creating inventions to help her dad and pet cat. Her egg collector, cat-a-pult and strawberry jam dispenser proved to be disastrous. But that didn’t stop the ideas from coming. Hiding out in the shed, Audrey banged, clattered and battered around. She created a cat wash that sent bubbling bubbles everywhere. Audrey felt she was the worst inventor ever. Her Dad told her most inventors don’t get it right the first time. She felt better and came up with her best idea ever? What do you think it was?

This inspiring read is fun and creative. It teaches kids to follow their dreams and never give up. Cheerful illustrations share the fun inventions and what can happen when things don’t go exactly as planned. Parents and teachers can use this as a tool to discuss some of the famous inventors of our time and also get kids creating some cool inventions of their own.
