🦉 Owl Be Reading Review: A Mindboggling History of Scientists and Inventors by Mike Goldsmith 📖 Hoot Factor – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is full of fascinating facts about the people who changed the world! From brilliant inventors to genius scientists, every page has something cool to discover. I loved how fun and easy to read it was, with loads of weird and wonderful stories about real-life discoveries. 🎨 Owl-some Illustrations – ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The cartoon-style illustrations are so funny and colourful, making the facts even more exciting! It’s not just a history book—it feels like an adventure through time, science, and big ideas. 💡 Wise Owl’s Takeaway – ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book proves that science is full of surprises! Some inventions happened by accident, while others took years of hard work. It made me think about how curiosity and creativity can change the world. 💬 Hoot or Boot? – 4/5 Hoots – A mind-blowing read! I really enjoyed this book, but I wish it had been longer! There were so many fascinating scientists and inventors, but some sections felt a bit too short, and the timeline at the end was only two pages—I would have loved even more details. Still, it’s fun, inspiring, and packed with amazing facts, making it a great read for anyone curious about the world of science and discovery!
