    I received product in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

    Robobaby

    Author: Dave Wiesner

    In this hilarious gem from triple Caldecott winner David Wiesner, it’s big sister to the rescue when a new baby is delivered to a family of robots and the adults are flummoxed by technical difficulties.

    A new baby’s arrival is a big moment in any family, even a family of robots. Award winner David Wiesner captures the excitement and fanfare when baby Flange appears—as a crate full of components. The adults bungle the process of assembling Flange, with catastrophic results. Big sister Cathy, with her handy toolbox and advanced knowledge of robotics and IT, hasn’t been allowed to help, but in the ensuing chaos she calmly clears up the technical difficulties and bonds with her new baby brother. A shout-out for girl scientists and makers, Robobaby is an eye-opening and engaging blend of the familiar and the fantastic.

    About the author: David Wiesner is internationally renowned for his visual storytelling and has won the Caldecott Medal three times—for Tuesday, The Three Pigs, and Flotsam—the second person in history to do so. He is also the recipient of three Caldecott Honors, for Free Fall, Sector 7, and Mr. Wuffles. He lives near Philadelphia with his family.

      I would have it complete all the things I normally ask my husband to do so it can finally get done. Also have it teach me the things I want to learn. Hope the programmer can give it patience.

      If I had a robot hat could do much of anything, I would love to have it be able to fetch me something from one side of the room back. I would also love it to pass letters or papers from my room to my mom’s room.

      I feel like robots would be helpful in the real world, just would’t want them to be smarter than us humans 😄

      If I had a fully-functioning robot, it would quickly and efficiently do every single household chore that needs to be done. And…. I would love it!

      would do if you had a fully-functioning robot??

      At 70 this is not the type of robot I want 🙂 But I think this is a great STEM learning project and we need all of our kids to get involved as early as we can. My great niece would need some help but oh what a great learning tool.

      If I had a fully functional robot would have it help clean up after my kids and bug them to do their chores for me.
