Izzy Gizmo and the Invention Convention by Pip Jones and Sara Ogilvie - ADVISABLE

Izzy Gizmo and the Invention Convention by Pip Jones and Sara Ogilvie, PICTURE BOOK Peachtree Publishing, 2019, $18. 9781682631645

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

Izzy Gizmo and her crow friend Fixer have been invited to participate in an Invention Convention! But when Izzy gets there, Abi von Lavish (another young inventor) is taking all the best supplies and even using more than her fair share of the power supply. Izzy needs to follow Grandpa's advice and make something that is useful, environmental conscious, and that everyone needs - she comes up with the perfect thing!

 Pip Jones poetic narration was reminiscent of Dr. Seuss - as were Sara Ogilvie's illustrations. The whimsical inventions were delightful to look at, and the story was perfect for today's audience. A follow up to the original Izzy Gizmo - I'm excited to see what she comes up with next.
