BUYING ADVISORY: ADULTS: ESSENTIAL; Pre-K, EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
While robots are usually super easy to have around, sometimes even they can have a letdown and need regeneration or a reset.
Griswold does a very cute job of using robots as the role models as a corollary for human meltdowns - I felt it made the story more powerful to help students see themselves in the robots instead of being in-your-face about the topic. As usual, Magination includes great information in the back matter to help the adults apply the lessons from the book. If you haven’t looked at their catalog lately, you can find all kinds of useful subjects covered in very empathetic and caring ways.
