New #TheQuestioneers #AdaTwist Picture Book GIVEAWAY!

Posted on April 26, 2019April 17, 2024 by Pragmatic Mom

Abrams Books sent me the book to check out and is partnering with me for a giveaway!

Are you ready for a new Questioneers picture book? This one  is … A mystery! A riddle! A puzzle! A quest!

 

Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants by Andrea Beaty, Illustrations © David Roberts

Ada Twist is the queen of questions. Like, why does hot coffee smell stronger than cold? What kind of birds live in her backyard? And, especially, why does her brother Arthur get so cranky when she borrows his stuff for experiments?

But Ada’s questions really come in handy when her friend Rosie Revere needs help. Rosie’s Uncle Ned has gotten carried away in his famous helium pants, and Ada needs some answers—fast!

How high can Uncle Ned float? Will he fly off into outer space? And, most important, how can they get him down? With the help of her fellow Questioneers Iggy Peck and Rosie Revere, her brother Arthur, and some new friends, Ada Twist is ready to save the day! [picture book, ages 6 and up]

 

Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants Book Pair GIVEAWAY!

Take on Stellar Science!

One (1) winner receives:

  • Ada Twist and the Perilous Pants
  • plus Ada Twist’s Big Project Book for Stellar Scientists

    I do like the Rosie Revere, Engineer and Ada Twist, Scientist series. There is also
    Maker Lab: 28 Super Cool Projects by Jack Challoner and Jack Andraka and Mistakes that Worked: 40 Familiar Inventions & How They Came to Be
    by Charlotte Foltz Jones and John O’Brien. Of course, National Geographic has many books that work here.
