Hi,

I'm looking for more picture books that have Science, Engineering, Technology and Math and are fun stories! Right now we (my toddler son, husband, and I) are enjoying "Annie Aardvark, Mathematician" and "Rosie Revere, Engineer" and I'd like to find more like that! Thanks!

My son loves both:

The Boy Who Loved Math: The Improbable Life of Paul Erdos by Heiligman, Deborah (2013) Hardcover https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00M0DASNO/ref=cmswwrcppapirrbRzbKHFE7G88__

And

On a Beam of Light: A Story of Albert Einstein https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/145215211X/ref=cmm_swrrcpapii_gsbRzbY7VFZTR

And liked

What's Your Angle, Pythagoras? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1570911509/ref=cmswwrcppapi_QsbRzb59TZ3R6

We've got a few books about female scientists (I'm a scientist and my DD was told by a school friend women couldn't be scientists so we're trying to prevent that thinking with lots of female scientist books).

Stone Girl, Bone Girl about Mary Anning
The Watcher: Jane Goodall's Life with the Chimps
Ada Byron Lovelace and the Thinking Machine
Women in Science: 50 Fearless Pioneers Who Changed the World

Don't have a book about Marie Curie but this looks good although she tends to be the token woman in standard science books because she can't be ignored: Marie Curie (Little People, Big Dreams)

Also this looks interesting on Caroline Herschel: Caroline's Comets: A True Story

From the Rosie Revere series you mentioned in your OP, there's "Ada Twist, Scientist" Grin
