I read this for the "Set In The Future" part of my 2020 reading challenge. It was a really cute, simple book about a boy meeting a robot. I liked how concerned they were when they thought something was wrong, and all the things they did to fix it. ( )

How cool would it be to have a robot best friend? The little boy in this new picture book is lucky enough to find a robot to play with. They're having so much fun, until robot hits a bump and his power switch accidentally gets turned to OFF.

The little boy worries that his robot friend is sick, so he tries to cure him with human remedies. His efforts tire him out, and he falls asleep. When robot get switched back ON, he thinks the sleeping boy is sick! The roles are reversed as robot tries to cure the boy with robot remedies.

Humans and robots alike will enjoy the humor and heart in this story about friendship and misunderstandings.

Boy and Robot find common ground and friendship. Cute story, love the illustrations. I especially liked the juxtaposition of Robot power switch : Boy sleep time and how they tried to take care of each other.

This book is for primary aged students. This is a simple plot about a boy who finds a robot and a robot who doesn't understand how a boy can sleep, unlike robots! This is a funny story that would be very entertaining for young children, perhaps K-2.
