Bookroo's summary

Meet Baby Brains, the universe's smartest infant, who sees his parents overwhelmed by chores. His solution? Build RoboMom, a robot that handles everything from cooking to cleaning. But when RoboMom starts taking on too much, chaos ensues. Can Baby Brains regain control before his invention turns their lives upside down? Discover the hilarious consequences of a brilliant idea gone awry.

From the publisher

Kids will giggle and parents will smile (a bit sheepishly) as the world’s smartest tyke invents a robot that does the chores, and then some. Everyone knows that Baby Brains is the smartest baby in the universe. He’s certainly clever enough to see how tired Mom and Dad seem to get keeping house and looking after him. Then Baby Brains has a big idea. He puts his genius to work building RoboMom, who can cook, clean, and do the laundry. The new invention is a smashing success . . . until RoboMom takes on a few too many duties, and the family gets more help than they bargained for!
