Using the classic structure of Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? by Bill Martin Jr., Chris Ferrie has created a whole new experience for young scientists. Featuring scientist from past and present, each scientist looks to a picture of another scientist which highlights their notable work such as Grace Hopper making a computer enquiry or George Carver studying botany.
The scientists presented in the story are from all over the world and show both genders equally as well as many ethnicities, creating a wonderful platform for children allowing them to see that anyone can be a scientist. This fact is promoted on the last page, where a diverse group of children are looking back at the scientists. The familiar rhythm of the story along with fun pictures generates a wonderful new way to introduce scientists to young children. Having read this with my two year old as well as several school groups, I believe this book is best enjoyed by ages 2-8.
