Goodreads

A new robot baby arrives, and when the adults attempt to put it together, they’re repeatedly stumped by technological difficulties. Luckily, big sister, Cathode, comes to the rescue.

This book is fast paced, humorous, and just fun. Tech savvy adults will get extra laughs with the geek humor found throughout. The illustrations from three-time Caldecott winner, David Wiesner, do not disappoint. They’re high color, and highly detailed and definitely bring the story to life. The text is laid out in text bubbles, graphic novel style. There are also some pages with panels as found in graphic novels. It can be a little difficult to know which direction to read, even for seasoned graphic novel readers. For this reason, I’d recommend this book to readers 5/6 and up.
