This wolf and a sheep are jealous of a birds ability to see life from a different perspective so they want to build a flying contraption. I placed this book under the creativity or innovative thinking category because this book demonstrates that with a little bit of creativity, these animals figured out a way to achieve their dream. This can be used interdisciplinary with STEM instruction by having your students come up with their own ideas on how the sheep and wolf could have achieved their dream.

This is a story about a boy that decides he wants to make a galimoto (a push toy crafted out of found material) out of wire. This book can be interdisciplinary with STEM instruction by having your students construct their own galimoto.

I LOVE this book! It's actually a wordless book so this is perfect for pushing students to be creative about their thinking and understanding. He abandons electronic screens after he is enraptured with the possibilities of a measuring tape in order to create and construct. This book can be interdisciplinary with STEM instruction because it forces the students to rely on innovative thinking.

This is a book about a young girl who is amazing at engineering things. This book can be used interdisciplinary with STEM instruction in many ways. My favorite way would be to read this hand-in-hand with an engineering activity/lesson that incorporates math skills and critical thinking skills by having the students build their own mini-airplanes.

This is a story about a boy who tries to make a flying machine and follows this advice, "when I'm frustrated, I gather up all my patience, take a deep breath, and blow away all the mixed feelings inside." This is a wonderful story that models emotional intelligence and growth mindset.

Mary cleverly builds a machine that makes a wooly sheep pet. When her machine gets stuck on, she makes way too many sheep. Good think she's an inventor and can fix it! I would use this book before a building activity.

This book follows along the journey of an imaginative boy planning his trip to the moon. This book can be interdisciplinary with STEM instruction by intertwining it within a space unit. Your students can use math to figure out the how long it will take him to ride his bike to the moon. I think it would be a fun activity!

This book is about Summer, who is a girl who dreams of being a meteorologist. She overcomes her fears, conquers her doubts and gains the courage to reach her dreams. I would use this book alongside a weather unit!

It's Alive: From Neurons and Narwhals to the Fungus Among Us

# data[].attributes.body
This is a humorous, fact, and fun filled look at life on Earth. From deep sea creatures and carnivorous plants to the human body and stinky bacteria.
I would use this book during a life science unit full of hands-on activities!

Charlotte, a budding bunny scientist, ignores the doubters and confidently finds a cure to the mysterious malady affecting the forest.
I actually downloaded this book on my kindle and read it and it's my favorite out of all of them! I would definitely use this book alongside an experimentation activity.

With beautiful illustrations and simple text, Gravity makes a complex subject accessible for young readers.
I would this book at the start of a space unit and create some sort of activity surrounding gravity.

This is a great book for teaching kids about stem cells in a simple enough way for them to understand! This could definitely be used alongside a stem cell lesson!

This book shows and teaches students about the different time zones. I would use this book to teach about timekeeping, time zones, and relevant geography. Students can collaborate by partnering up and taking control on one time zone and teaching their classmates about what they've discovered.

Mysterious Patterns: Finding Fractals in Nature

# data[].attributes.body
A fractal is a pattern in nature that is made up of little parts that look like the whole thing. Example, a broccoli floret! This book goes in deeper with that topic and helps students look at the world around them differently and ask questions about what they see. This forces the students to critically think about the world around them.

This story is about a German mouse who builds a plane to escape the newly invented mousetraps that have overtaken the continent. I would connect this story with a science and history lesson! This book, along with activities, can teach students about critical thinking, collaboration, and communication.
