Ada Twist, Scientist: A Picture Book (The Q… door Andrea Beaty

Ada Twist is a girl who is not afraid to ask questions considering she is always asking questions that require a fun experiment to prove her theories. This novel is great for those who have curious minds and want to discover new things through science, confidence, and trial and error. Learning through trial and error is Ada's biggest strength and learning the importance of keeping her mind curious.

The Real Work: On the Mystery of Mastery door Adam Gopnik

The title is attractive, as it promises to tell us how to achieve mastery, but the text is somewhat disappointing, as it turns out to be a somewhat intellectual essay on obscure things like practicing magic tricks (we all know that there isn't a real magic that goes beyond the rules of physics and mechanics). Even the section on music fails to instruct. It reads like articles in a 'smart' magazine.
