Reviews
“Budding young scientists can test their techno skills in this entertaining and easy-to-use book that lets them build a robot that talks! Page by page, readers can remove the sturdy cardboard pieces and fit them together, following the “My Little Blue Robot” story and thorough diagrams that provide all the instructions (there’s even a cardboard screwdriver included for tightening those bolts). After the head, body, movable arms, and wheeled legs are fastened together, the new creation comes magically to life when young roboticists unlock the front panel and add his heart, hearing him utter, “Hello, you are my friend! Let’s play!” A fabulous robot book that’s not too difficult and even prompts readers to locate shapes like “2 white hexagons” and “5 silver squares,” My Little Blue Robot will have inspired kids making a fun new friend (literally) in a snap.”
-Matt Warner, The Barnes & Noble Review
My Little Blue Robot, Stephen T. Johnson’s follow-up to the bestselling My Little Red Toolbox, comes with 13 sturdy cardboard pieces that pop out of the thick pages, including a play screwdriver and key tool to help youngsters put the robot together. A mechanical “heart” makes the toy talk.”
