Now that all three of my kids are older, I don't have the regular pleasure of reading picture books aloud.I still love them.
Two nights ago I read Ada Twist, Scientist aloud to a friend's daughter, three-year old Lily. I love that it encourages children to ask questions in order to understand their world. That's what a good scientist does, right?
As any good picture book should do, David Roberts' illustrations made Lily ask questions and look for clues in order to answer some of the questions Ada Twist asks within the story.
There are a fair amount of words (great vocabulary, too!) but even with Lily at age three, there was plenty to spur excellent conversation about the basics of what it means to be a scientist.
Andrea Beaty and David Roberts have other books about children pursuing career interests. Check out these titles as well:
