I read this book as part of a challenge I joined.
The first thing that really grabbed me about this book, was the information at the beginning. The author, while taking some liberties with the history of the 'bird' she's writing about, has also taken the time to describe the bird and note the differences in her story and the actual history of things.
The most profound lesson that I think kids will learn from Izzy is to never give up. If you want to succeed at something, you must just keep trying no matter how impossible the task seems. Izzy's struggles will help kids see that all is not lost if they can not accomplish what they attempt on the first try.
Elementary students from Kindergarten through third grade will certainly enjoy and benefit from this story.

Izzy the Inventor is about a prehistoric bird who cannot seem to get the hang of flying. Little Izzy is sent from her next by her mother and is told they - her mother and brothers - will see her again when she can fly back up to the top of the cliff they live on.
Eager to learn and see her family once more, Izzy sets out on a journey to get her wings a-flappin. Along the way, she meets a caveman who scares her, although she seems to fascinate him. And when she accidentally discovers things the caveman didn't even know existed, he is inspired to help this little birdie.
I enjoyed Izzy the Inventor. The illustrations are sweet, and the story is really engaging and entertaining. Kids and adults of all ages will definitely like Izzy, as well as the other birds showcased in the Bird Brain series of books. They're all quite wonderful.
I rate Izzy the Inventor 5 stars.
