About the Book

Robots are much more than machines in the emotionally resonant world of Robobaby, where the arrival of a new baby in a robot family is a festive occasion. Iconic picture book creator David Wiesner captures the excitement as Lugnut (father), Diode (mother), and big sister Cathode (Cathy) welcome the newcomer. Cathy, with her handy toolbox and advanced knowledge of robotics and IT, is ignored while the adults bungle the process of assembling baby Flange, with near catastrophic results. As the frantic, distracted adults rush about aimlessly, Cathy, unobserved, calmly clears up the technical difficulties and bonds with her new baby brother. Robobaby is a shout-out for girl scientists and makers, and a treat for all young robot enthusiasts. AGES: 4 to 7 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.

Review :
"Wiesner's precise watercolor illustrations bring these automatons to life, imbuing each with a distinct personality. With humor, pathos, and relatives galore, this will have wide appeal." -- Booklist (starred review) "A retro-futuristic romp, literally and figuratively screwy." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Shapely architectural lines form the metallic family, and an illuminated floor lights the family from below, giving the spreads a warm glow. Against the how-things-work mayhem, smooth fields of color, streamlined panel artwork, and fastidious speech bubble typography make every spread elegant." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "Wiesner's friendly robots, despite their clunky metal framework, infuse their twilit extraterrestrial world with warmth and mutual support, making this a convivial, if offbeat, addition to the new-baby-on-the-way collection." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books "The luminous, intricately detailed, and endlessly pore-over-able illustrations are the story's driving force. Glowing floors, mirrorlike metallic surfaces, flaming rocket trails, and congratulatory balloons successfully coexist within the same image. A consistent floor-level perspective, lush color palette, and clever details further enhance the world-building." -- Horn Book Magazine "Sequential art and speech-bubble text are riddled with goofy detail that invites close examination. Wiesner's friendly robots infuse their twilit extraterrestrial world with warmth and mutual support, making this a convivial, if offbeat, addition to the new-baby-on-the-way collection. Recommended." -- Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
