Izzy Gizmo

Product Information

Students are exposed to words like: splendid, glitch, cross (as an adjective), fumed (as a feeling), dismantled, entranced, walloped, furious and tinkered. Throughout the story, Izzy "borrows" items from others for her inventions and at the end of the story, her grandfather makes her fix what she broke when taking pieces of items. To help you with your building, you may want to conduct an experiment to find the best building material.

In a rhyme that surprises and delights you, (n=mended/splendid) we learn of Izzy's determination to invent and invent and invent. Told through the eyes of Izzy Gizmo, a young, Black girl who loves inventing, this is a tale about perseverance and not giving up when things go wrong.The message of a girl being able to do anything just trying hard and persevering was really important. The illustrations are detailed, and the inventions shown are wonderful and could initiate discussions while looking at them. So many times in children's books, the MC does something and never realizes the natural consequences of their choices.

When she comes across a bird with a broken wing she is inspired to try helping, but fails over and over again. Izabelle Gizmo just loves to invent, but her inventions never seem to work the way she wants them to. Students empathize and connect with Izzy when she gets frustrated because she can’t solve a problem on the first (or second, or third) try. Ogilvie's illustrations are bright, child and activity focuses, Izzy is always busy and her gizmos are intriguing.Pip Jones’ rhyming narrative is a cracker to read aloud and Sara Ogilvie’s imagination must be almost as fertile as young Izzy’s… A real riot. One day a bird falls from the sky with injured wings, and Izzy struggles to invent something that will help the bird to fly again.

So cute Izzy was a creative girl with a good heart trying to fix what's broken and make her life better with izzy giizmo's (her gadgets). These student created examples can then be hung or added to our Spicy Word Wall or displayed in a Word Museum in our classroom. You can use activities to differentiate instruction, give students a choice, or focus on a specific skill. Pip was born in Cheltenham, UK, where she spent her childhood gobbling up books and dreaming about being an author herself.I've read this book in the Dutch translation and I'm sorry to say that the translation ruined an otherwise perfectly nice book. Since graduating in 1993 with an illustration/printmaking BA Hons and a PG diploma in 1994 from Edinburgh College of Art, Sara has continued to create and develop work which has been exhibited across the UK and abroad. She keeps wanting to give up, the the crow and her dad encourage her to try again, until, she ha the crow flying again. With major encouragement from an older family member, and the CROW, himself, Izzy tries, tries and tries again!
