This book is a positive way for students to see a girl go through the engineering process. I liked how there was a purpose and reason for Beatriz to engineer something. Nicely done!

This is an fantastic book for young girls! My daughters that are in early elementary school loved it!

It conveys that girls can do anything they put their mind to if they don't give up. It is such a sweet story about helping build a cart for a dog so he can walk/run. Love of animals and engineering all in one!

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for a copy of this ARC to review.

I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

The book is very cute, about an innovative little girl Beatriz who wants to help a amputee dog, bonus points for making most of the story rhyme. My 5 years old enjoyed it very much and she said there's a lot of small details in the art work.

This is a cute, simple story about a girl who is a fix-it whiz who designs a wheelchair for a three-legged dog. While there is the obvious plot hole here - that nearly every 3-legged animal in the world gets along just fine without assistive technology - I appreciate that this is a girl who has a science mind, works to help another creature, and has to problem solve when her plan doesn't work perfectly the first time.

Beatriz Fix-It-Whiz was a cute story for early readers. I had my 6 year old granddaughter (who is going into first grade) read this. The story line was engaging and the illustrations very complementary. A disabled dog and a loving and smart little girl. Great message of keep trying.

I love the little girl being so inventive. I think it's also a nice touch that here invention isn't perfect the first time, and that she gets help without feeling threatened or belittled.

This is Beatriz, a girl who is confident on her ability to fix things. And she is a real whiz. She loves to volunteer in an animal shelter, thus helping the vet taking care of the animal. Until a dog name Oreo came.

This was a great book for little children who just start to read. Simple to understand, with a good moral lesson, and it rhymes!

👷‍♀️ This wonderful children’s book features two females in STEM - a woman veterinarian who operates an animal shelter and a young girl who loves to build things to solve problems.

👷‍♀️ I love how Beatriz engineers a solution to help a three-legged dog get better mobility and balance. Not only is she helping the dog, but she also learns herself that solutions to problems often require a lot of trial and error and a lot of patience before you are successful. I love that Beatriz never gave up despite setbacks to her designs.

👷‍♀️ The story is cute, the lesson is great, and the illustrations are awesome!

👷‍♀️ Any book that focuses on being helpful, kind, imaginative, and steadfast is a winner for any child in my opinion! But I particularly recommend it for young girls with have an interest in STEM fields or activities. Representation can make dreams possible!
