  I enjoyed this book and how mattie made a "special kite"for those boys.She proves that boys arnt the onliy one that knows how to do things.If I were to meet mattie i would so give her a thumbs up.

  One promblem that Mattie had to overcome was that she was a girl. This was a promblem because Men thougt that women and girls were just stay at home to cook and clean. So Mattie showed everyone that girls and women can accomplish anything.

  One promblem i had this book was that the guy stole her idea i didnt at all think that was ok. But it was a really great book and i also think that she proved herself that girls can be better then boys.

  She was really smart to make the boys pay. That was really helpful. Her mom was glad she had that foot warmer I bet!

  I had one problem with the book and that was the people thought girls were not as good as boys and that really made me mad. But i thought it was a good book because it proved that girls are as good as boys.

  The drawings at the bottom of the page show the drawings from her sketchbook that are her ideas for inventions. These drawings, along with the pictures, help you visualize the inventions she has made. She kept being told that girls could not do the things she did. Mattie ignored these comments and kept going to make the machine that made amazing paper bags.

  When I read this book, I didn't think that paper bags weren't all too cool of an invention, but I think the machine that makes them would have been hard to make.

  I like this book alot. My favorite part was when they found out the machine was her's. I think this would be a great book for people who like to learn about inventions.

  I recommend it because someone took a ivention from Mattie!!! She gets a loyar And fights the MAN who took the ivention and won! She IS a good iventor of course, for a Woman

  I think this book prooves girls and boys are equal. I disagree with Blake, Just because he is a boy it doesn`t mean he is better than a girl. Anywas, it is like blak and white, they are equal.

  This book captured my attention because it showed that girls and boys are equal. I do not think that Nathaniel should have not said "for a Woman."

  Back then it must have been hard for women/girls to say their beliefs because they probably got judged since they were girls. So I am glad this book stated that girls have the same rights and that we are ALL equal!

  I realy liked this book because i didn`t realize that there are many cool things that you can do with a paper bag.I think that Mattie was a very nice and caring person.She has alot of fellings for people.Mattie was nice enuf to make a kite for her brothers.I thouht that was very thouhtful of her.Mattie was at a young age and she liked to make things or inventions.I hope you get yo read it.

  This book is a great read aloud because it gives a lot about science.

  I think that this book is a good read aloud because it is not that long and has things on science.Blake you are wrong to say that boys are better than girls, besides, everyone is equal.

  Everyone keeps saying that "Oh this book is so awesome because it shows that girls are as good as boys." That's not even the main point of the story. It's that no matter what happens, don't give up.
