I have always been a fan of the Rebel Girls books, as they fill a much needed role in introducing children to important women. However, Questions for Rebel Girls falls short of the quality previously seen in most of the Rebel Girls books. Questions are sprinkled throughout the pages in an attempt to get kids conversing about their thoughts regarding various topics related to various important women. However, those questions are often not accompanied with any information about the person in question. Random facts appear on pages with no context. The book has very little content compared with other Rebel Girls books.

ππππ πΊππππ from the Rebel Girls series is very different from any other of the books I have been lucky to read but that is far from a criticism.

ππππ πΊππππ focuses more on getting the reader to think about what they would thanks to questions posed by the Rebel Girls team, and readers of the previous books. I love that it encourages the reader to imagine themselves in certain situations, given opportunities in life etcetera. I strongly believe that these books belong in every school and personal library (and not just for girls) but this particular book would be ideal for such things as 'Big Reads' that are done in schools etcetera.
If you want your child to learn about various famous women in history and there is a diversity in these books that I haven't seen anywhere else, then these are for you. ππ’ππ π‘ππππ πππ π
ππππ πΊππππ will encourage conversation between the readers and those around them and encourage as always, for the reader to be their true self and strive for the best against prejudice, disability, age, gender etcetera.
Thank you as always to Rebel Girls for the advanced copy - they have created a fantastic series that is needed for all children.
Questions for Rebel Girls features 300 questions, facts about rebel girls throughout history, and quotes from inspirational women. The format of this book is bright, colorful and overall just eye-catching. I love love loved this book! Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for this ARC.
As a high school teacher I found this book would be perfect for a number of classroom activities. I think the questions, quotes, and facts would work well as a warm-up activity, bell work writing, or even essays. I think that the questions presented are not gender specific and would work well for all students (not just girls). In addition, I think these questions would appeal to students of all ages, not just middle grade students. Even adults would likely have fun answering these questions. I am already thinking of creative ways I can use this book in my classroom. I highly recommend this book for all people who like to answer thought-provoking questions.
