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 fly but rather hovers for a moment and then crashes, Rosie deems the invention a failure. On the contrary, Aunt Rose insists that Rosie's contraption was a raging success. You can only truly fail, she explains, if you quit.

not a great story really

Reviewed in India on 15 July 2020

Verified Purchase

We bought the hardcover edition at Rs1095. The review would be the same for any edition however.

Book reviews are subjective, and this one only has 5 stars reviews available to read, however from our point of view this was a disappointing purchase. There's no story here to mention at all, no reason for anyone to be endeared to the heroine Rosie - there is some build up as expected and then she simply goes from being doubted to an inventor in a couple of pages. The kids did not enjoy the book at all.

A good idea but not well constructed

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 6 November 2017

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my son who had just turned five - his teacher recommended the story because it's ultimately about perseverance, and children can often get frustrated when their plans go awry. My really enjoys the story and he wanted to read it every day for a week and it's still a regular bedtime story.

However, whilst the book does end with a positive message about perseverance, I feel there's a part which is overlooked which is more subtle to explain to younger children.

Rosie makes an invention for her uncle and his reaction is to laugh so hard. Her understandable reaction is that he's laughing at her. The book goes on to say that he loves the invention, but the issue about why he initially laughed was not addressed. Rosie then decides to give up inventing, not because it failed to work (there's no mention of that) but simply because her uncle, and the animals, were so amused with her invention that she presumed she was no good.

It's such a weird set-up to the final act, which is about how she eventually tries to help her aunt to fly. Again, her aunt bursts out laughing too which flairs up her self-doubts. But it's left to the reader, ie the adult, to explain a child why an adult's reaction to something so creative and impressive might be laughter - it's not that obvious really.

In my opinion the awkward way in which the author tries to induce Rosie's self-doubts actually gets in the way of the otherwise strong message about perseverance in general.

Rosie Revere-not what I expected

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 December 2017

Verified Purchase

As per my review for Iggy Peck I was so disappointed with this book. I've had these in mind to buy for my nieces for several years (having read the reviews) and finally took the plunge for their 5th birthday. Had a quick flick through before giving these 2 as their presents and they weren't at all what I was expecting. Too American in style for them to understand. Whilst I love the sentiment behind these books, they weren't as well received as I'd hoped. Maybe 5 is too young? Maybe they'll grow to like them.

A good book to teach younsters not to give up on a dream.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 August 2018

Whilst Rosie Revere is not quite as captivating as Happy Birthday Madame Chapeau it will appeal to my five year old grand-daughter when she comes to stay. It is a beautifully written book with illustrations that involve the child. It has an excellent storyline showing you shouldn't give up on something you really want to do just because some people don't have the same interests as you.

Excellent and inspiring book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 October 2017

Verified Purchase

This is the book that every little girl - and actually every little boy as well - needs. It tells the story of an inventor who is laughed at when one of her inventions fails to work as expected. However, she is then inspired to create somethings else; when this fails her wonderful auntie points out that nothing is perfect first time, and the first time is a jumping off point for the next, and the next and so on.

This book is a must for all children who have a fear of failing. It teaches then that a failure is a way of learning, is to be expected and not feared, and that the next thing to do is to have another go.

Great

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 August 2014

A wonderful book for little girls with enquiring minds that deserve so much more than a disney princess for a role model. My daughter loves this book and we have read it many times. The only downside is that the book is american and so is the language so some of the lines don't rhyme unless you say them in an american accent!
