R. Robot has to find a lost robot and save lunch at his company...detective/culinary fiction of the first order!

Crazy bizzaro book about robots at a robot factory. I can see this book totally appealing to boys with its robots, bright colors, and gross out moments. Do I love it? It's not my favorite.

One of those books that the kids love even though you can't figure out why...

He gonna poop! (This book isn't great, but Sam loves it. We'll probably watch crap scifi movies together when he's older)

My son wanted to give this book 3 stars. He said he didn’t know if he liked it or not. I love it! A robot finds a missing robot and repairs a lunch making machine? Not an excessive amount of words per page. I think your kid will like it!

My 7 yo daughter loved this book. I thought it was a little strange, but the illustrations are great and lead into fun conversations about what the robots could do that humans can't.

I wasn't super impressed by this book, but our 4-year old liked it so much he found it at the library to rent a second time!

reviewing books for my library's summer reading program...this one has nice art but I think the story is a little too simple and not very exciting for my group, will make available for them to check it out though.

My two year old loves this book; it has robots and bright colors so it is fun for him to examine. The story line is not as exciting as the illustrations so I'm not very enthusiastic about reading it over and over and over to him!

I like the illustrations, and I'm sure this will be a hit with robot fans.
