Bookroo's summary
In a robot family, chaos ensues when baby Flange arrives as a crate of parts. While the adults flounder, big sister Cathy, armed with her toolbox and tech skills, steps in. Can she fix the technical mishaps and bond with her new brother? Discover a tale celebrating girl scientists and the power of ingenuity in 'Robobaby.'
From the publisher
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.
