Stop! Bot! By James Yang - ADVISABLE

Stop! Bot! By James Yang PICTURE BOOK Viking Penguin, 2019 $18.00 9780425288818 

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE 

On the sidewalk in front of a tall building, a little boy’s bot is rising up the building, seemingly out of control. As it passes the various floors the residents all try different things to try to catch it. 

Graphic novel style dialogue makes this early reader engaging and fun. The illustrations are colorful and whimsical, and the shape of the book, tall and skinny, gives the reader great perspective. I loved the woman with the huge bouffant hairdo and the doorman chasing the thing is delightful. A perfect shared read with lots of things to look at and talk about. 2020 Geisel Medal winner.
