Title: Boy + Bot
Author: Ame Dyckman
Illustrator: Dan Yaccarino
Publisher: Alfred A. Knopf, New York, NY 2012
The boy befriends a boxy and bright "bot" one day in the forest. Before they can share a full day of fun and shenanigans, the robot's power switch gets bumped, and the boy doesn't know what to do! He tries every remedy he can think of with no success. The tale turns when the robot's power switch gets turned back on, while the boy is fast asleep and the robot takes a turn at trying to "fix" the boy.
This is an adorably silly tale that children will be drawn to, and the bright and eye-catching illustrations will further engage children in the story. The story would appeal to children ages one to four and would make an excellent read aloud for storytellers with a perfected robot voice.
