What did you like about the book? Young roboticists will BEEP over this new mix-and-match robot book. Sturdy pages are split into three flaps and arranged alphabetically so kids can learn all the parts of robot technology. From Android to Z-drive, the robot parts can be flipped to create practically endless variations of robots, while kids are learning and re-learning the components. Pleasing, simple digitally created images show friendly robots, and definitions are spot-on in for young learners. I felt that it helped me understand robot technology just a bit more.
