Boy + Bot (2012) - Ame Dyckman & Dan Yaccarino


















Boy + Bot looks like a throwback to the 1950s with its robots and weird scientists, but it works well in modern times as well. It's a very cute story about understanding and helping others who are different from us, so for that, I give it high marks. The book is bright and colorful but it has several small pictures (or panels, for those of you who read comics/graphic novels), which would probably make it a difficult Storytime book. Still, it's probably worth a try. Good for Robot Storytimes or Friendship Storytimes.
