Maddie Moo Book Review: The Questioneers Collection
Written by: Andrea Beaty

I have been wanting these books for Madeline for quite a long time. I finally found them in a box set, and pulled the trigger on them with the help of gift cards for Christmas! I'm not even mad about spending my gift money on her because these books turned out to totally live up to the hype!
I had never actually picked them up and read through them, soI was pleasantly surprised by the story as well as the writing. I am a big fan of a well written rhyming book, and these have amazing rhythm! So they are really fun to read.
But what I love most about these stories is how well they show off different talents or skills in the STEM area without seeming boring or overly technical. It is really well done and makes it so entertaining to learn and see the kids just going full on toward their passions. I think that's a great thing for kids to see.
It's very hard for me to pick a favorite in this series. I enjoy each of them equally. If I was forced to choose, I think Ada Twist would win for writing. But i'm very partial to the architecture aspect of Iggy. And I love the message for Rosie the best. So they all have something that really stands out for me.
As a bonus, Madeline is here with me today while I type this review. Here is what she has to say about this series:
"I like these books THIS BIG!" *stretches arms all the way out to her sides*
Ada Twist: "I like her drawing everything on the hall room. I love her that she climbs up the clock. It's pretty silly, huh? I learned about drawing on the walls."
Rosie Revere: "I love that girl putting the boy in the cage with snakes all over him! And I also like her building a helicopter with cheese flying around it and I love it crashed! I learned about putting somebody in a cage."
Iggy Peck: "I like that he built castles at school. That's it. The castle. And the bridge."
These books are a big win for this family, because even my husband loves them. These are definitely worth adding to your bookshelves.
