![]() Have the children try to imitate a robot voice. ![]() What do you think this story will be about?ĭiscussion topics for during/after reading: Seemingly inspired by sources such as Star Wars and Toy Story, the most important message of this lighthearted tale is that reading really is fun. The bold, funny, over-the-top text and art are the perfect complement to one another. Shannon's crazy, action-filled illustrations can be a little confusing, but also contain so much humor (including jokes that are absent from the text) that children will be happy to stick around and decode them. ![]() Robot Zot crashes into an alien environment (the suburbs), battles with fearsome kitchen appliances and a challenging transmitter (TV), and rescues the Queen of all Earth (a toy cell phone) before zooming off "to distant galaxies to bravely save more days." The text's rhythm is a bit odd, moving back and forth between prose and rhyme, but the short declarative sentences will make it approachable for early or reluctant readers, and the melodrama keeps it fun. ![]() Grade Level: 1st (GLCs: Click here for grade level guidelines.) ![]()
