Bookroo's summary

Ultrabot, a giant robot, is anxious about its first playdate with Becky, the girl next door. Unfamiliar with playdates, Ultrabot worries about sharing toys and making a new friend. As the day unfolds, will Ultrabot's fears come true, or will it discover the joy of friendship? This delightful tale, filled with humor and heart, explores the challenges of new experiences and the unexpected bonds that can form.

From the publisher

Boy + Bot meets School’s First Day of School in this hilarious and reassuring take on first experiences and making new friends, from a Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner. Ultrabot is a big robot with a big problem. Its professor is planning a playdate with Becky Tingle, the little girl from next door. But Ultrabot has never been on a playdate, and it doesn’t know Becky. What if she’s mean? What if she breaks all of Ultrabot’s toys? What if she won’t share? Packed with loads of fun details and visual humor, this reassuring friendship story speaks to the shy giant robot in all of us.
