Marsha has a problem: she has no idea who to invite to her birthday party. Making friends at school has her stumped. Since she is a scientist, she decides there is only one way to find a solution. She must use the scientific method!
I loved Marsha's quirky character in Ferry’s cute STEAM book. This would be a fun way to introduce the scientific method in a classroom. I liked that Marsha was unapologetically herself.
Marsha is white, her classmates are illustrated with a variety of ethnicities.
