Scientists Get Dressed by Deborah Lee Rose

Scientists Get Dressed Reviews

  DivaDiane SM

  This is a vibrantly designed book which begins with a scientist’s outfit. How does what they wear aid them in their work? Why do they wear it? In addition to briefly describing what they actually do as scientists there are lots of crunchy morsels and facts about the sort of things they research. Fascinating stuff. Each spread is about a particular scientist and constitutes about 50% of the book. The rest of the book includes information about how children can get involved in research themselves as “citizen scientists” and activities around articles of clothing and how they function, for instance, how and which gloves keep your hands warm and/or dry. There’s a glossary of terms and an index of the photographs.
  
  I received an ARC of this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

  Scientists Get Dressed is a great educational book for kids. It explains and shows pictures of scientists in different careers, from astronauts to marine biologists to surgeons, and more. The book shows some of the gear scientists wear while doing their work and tells a little about their different jobs.
  
  If you have a child interested in science, I'm sure they would love this book.

  This book looks at various scientists jobs and the clothing they wear. It explains the use of clothing in each profession and many important facts in the work scientists do.

  After reviewing Beauty and the Beak, I was ecstatic to see another book available by Deborah Lee Rose. To be honest, however, I wondered if my standards might be set too high. Could another book compare to Beauty and the Beak?
  
  It turned out that there was no need for concern. Scientists Get Dressed did not disappoint me in any way. Again, as I turned the pages I was in awe. Each category of scientist and clothing is amazing. Why? Because in a few sentences, not a page or pages, what a researcher does and wears is described, complete with colorful pictures. We read about more familiar scientists, but also those not so familiar: those who gather lava, work in muddy streams, with sharks, human brains, etc. Rose also includes unexpected pictures of a scientist, Rebecca Tripp, who uses a climbing harness to reach the highest parts of the forest in order to study animals. What is unexpected is that when she descends from the forest canopy with collected samples, she positions herself into a wheelchair.
  
  Upon reaching the back of the book, there are review questions, activities, examples of projects young people might get involved in, and each scientist shown in the book has their scientific title listed.
  
  I received a review copy for free, and I am leaving this honest review completely voluntarily. Thank you #PersnicketyPress #DeborahLeeRose and #BookSirens.
  
  What Concerned Me:
  This will be short and sweet: nothing concerned me.
  
  What I Liked Most:
  The text is tight and the pictures so bright and eye-catching. Even the page layouts are interesting. It feels impossible to ever get bored reading this information. I believe it is learning at its best.
  
  My hat's off to Deborah Lee Rose and Persnickety Press for another wonderful STEM book. I can’t recommend it enough.

  Kids are interested in different jobs people do. That’s why many kindergarten and first grade classes have community helpers units. Deborah Rose has taken a variety of scientific occupations from astronauts to marine biologists to brain surgeons and talks about the clothes they wear for work. Scientists Get Dressed gives children an overview of a variety of jobs done by scientists while discussing the specific clothing needed for their job. The book ends with a section of questions about clothing worn by scientists which would make this a great book for small group instruction. Deborah Rose has also included information about becoming a citizen scientist.
  I will most likely add Scientists Get Dressed to my k-12 Christian school library. I think my lower to mid elementary kids will love it. It will make a great addition to my community helpers section.
  I received a complimentary e-copy from Book Sirens. This is my honest review.

  I received this book from Hidden Gem for my honest review.
  
  I really enjoyed the pictures in this book and how they really help to show the different ways scientist work. I also liked the fact that it had two different type of of text. It had a simple version and then a more in depth show version on each pages. The simple version I would read to younger children like preschool to first grade or so. The other one for upper elementary age. I also love how it had female scientist as well as males. This a great book for all ages.

  Portraying a mix of scientists and their work via well-known occupations and personalities as well as unfamiliar ones, these oversized photographic depictions include some fold-out spreads and efficient but minimalist text. Reasons for particular protective or utilitarian clothing and tools explain their function and relevance to the occupational tasks. The individuals portrayed ae diverse in gender, age, mobility, ethnicity, and other ways, including secondary characters who appear on their pages.

  4 1/2 stars for spot on content. I thought this was awesome. Kids, and adults, love to get a glimpse of all the cool specialized gear various professions use. For years I've had students ask me for books about police and fire fighters - what they usually want are books that lay out the gear and how it is used. Rose does an excellent job showing a great range of professions with lots of diversity in evidence - inclusive, inspiring and with lots of cool, nitty-gritty detail.

  I so much want to like this book. But they made one really bad design decision, namely on the pages that flip open for extra wide views, they put identical text boxes on the inside and outside of the flaps.

  Describes the way scientists dress to do their work. Connections to citizen science.
