A Twinkle In His Eye-Review
After reading a Twinkle In His Eye, I was really disappointed. Often times the illustratations presented in the book looked like they had either been increased or decreased in size which either stretched or distorted the image. In addition, the illustrations also looked "cut and pasted" in.
I was rather enthusiastic about reading this book as engineering is often a field that is left out of picture books but was again disappointed in the text. I was expecting the book to focus more on the field of engineering and explain more to the reader about this field. I think the idea behind the book is a good one but again, the booked lacked real content that could help educate a child on the field of engineering or what exactly an engineer does in the "real world."

OUTSTANDING AND LOTS OF FUN TO READ!
I really enjoyed reading A Twinkle In His Eye! The illustrations were very detailed and clear, which made reading it especially fun. Most importantly, I enjoyed the way it promotes family values in a world preoccupied with so much violence and lack of family focus. It is truly an educational experience that is enjoyed. I eagerly await the release of Yvette M. Burton's next book!

I didn't know an engineer could wear all those hats!
This was a great book or kids to explore different careers in exgineering. I was easy to read and well illustrated. I'm sure many adults will find that it is informative and thoughtful.
