Rosie Revere, Engineer
Rosie may seem quiet during the day, but at night she's a brilliant inventor of gizmos and gadgets who dreams of becoming a great engineer. When her great-great-aunt Rose (Rosie the Riveter) comes for a visit and mentions her one unfinished goal--to fly--Rosie sets to work building a contraption to make her aunt's dream come true. But when her contraption doesn't fl y but rather hovers for a moment and then crashes, Rosie deems the invention a failure. On the contrary, Aunt Rose inisists that Rosie's contraption was a raging success. You can only truly fail, she explains, if you quit.

- I have two kids under the age of 4, and we have SO MANY garbage toddler books. I'd love recommendations for books that might help stimulate intellectual curiosity, or at least are less painful to read 100+ times. An example of the type of book I'm looking for is 'Rosie Revere, Engineer'. Any suggestions would be much appreciated!
