Boy and Bot Board book – October 11, 2016

My grandson loves this book.

My son loves this book, so I was happy to find a board version, he is tough on paper books. This was used, but arrived looking brand new. Very happy!

I absolutely love this book. The innocence of Boy is so delightful when he meets Bot, but something goes terribly wrong. Boy doesn't know it, but the power button on Bot was accidently turned off. I want to instil empathy and caring for others in Gigi from a very early age, so I just adore that Boy tries everything to make Bot better, until he tucks him in and falls asleep.A serendipitous moment occurs and Bot finds himself in a similar position, trying everything to make Boy better.Just look at the illustrations, they are absolutely wonderful. I can't help but chuckle as Bot tries to wake Boy up by giving him oil and reading an instruction manual to him, priceless.Eventually Bot takes Boy to his Inventor, and of course, the Inventor FREAKS OUT, when he realises Bot has unwittingly taken Boy from his parents.This is a delightful book that I will absolutely love reading to Gigi day in and day out, and I don't think I will ever get sick of looking at those awesome illustrations. They truly make this book a 5 star read.

Please look inside this book on Amazon and you too will fall in love with this book. It is great for young children age 2 to 8. Not a busy read and pictures are great too. Original story in my opinion. It is a story about a boy who meet bot. They become friends and take care of each other. Boy help Bot when he is turn off, and Bot helps boy when he is sleeping in a process they learn how they are little different. With great story and illusration and awesome color combination any kid would love to read this over and over again. My six and four years old (a boy and a girl) love to read this book. They can't seem to put this book down since I bought it. Ame Dyckman did a wonderful job with original story line and Dan Yaccarino did a awesome job with illustration. Put them together and you get a BOY + BOT! We can't wait to see more stories about BOY AND BOT from Ame and Dan. It soon will become classic!!!!

The story is very sweet. A boy and a robot meet and spend the day playing together. The robot's power switch is accidently turned off and the boy brings him home and cares for him. While the boy sleeps, the robot's switch is knocked back on, and now, confused by the sleeping boy's failure to respond, the robot takes the boy back to the robot's house and attempts to care for him.It's a sweet story of looking out for one another and my toddler son really enjoys the book. I confess, I grow tired of reading it because the story is so short and simple. The pictures are also fun, but not long-time intriguing. I purchased the book because I was changing my son's room to a robot-theme and thought this would be a good addition. Again, he enjoys the book quite a bit, which is really the most important part of this recommendation.

A delightful, sweet story with charming drawings and a deep moral. Often in loving relationships when something is wrong with our friend or partner, we tend to try to love them in the ways WE want to be loved, rather than the ways THEY want to be loved. So when the Robot shuts off, the boy tries to give him chicken soup etc. When the boy falls asleep the robot thinks he is malfunctioning and tries to give him motor oil and replace his battery. Love comes from learning that sometimes our friends need different things than we do, and thats ok, and even two different friends can have a great time together and be the best of friends.

My 2-year-old developed a fear of robots (no idea why, just one of those things) and I wanted to help him get over his fear by showing him an example of robots being "nice". I found this book. He really likes it, asking to read it nightly. This is a simple and easy-to-understand book for him which teaches concepts of caring for others and being friends with those who are different than you. It's the perfect length so that he doesn't get bored by too many words. I also bought him a robot shirt, and I think he is starting to get over his fear.

My 3 year old son loves this book! After discovering it at the library, we began our search for his own copy. So happy to have found it on amazon. My son loves robots. The book was just the large size he wanted too!

My 4 year old daughter loves this, it's quite short, so she knew it off by heart after a week, and I tend to read it twice in a row because she asks me to. The drawings are lovely, and the quality of the paper and cover are really good. Really cute little story that's very easy for younger children to understand.

I nice little story. Read it to the children at school a number of times and they really enjoyed it.

A lovely short story will very nice pictures. I read this at circle time to my nursery class and they loved it

Mi pequeño de menos de tres años adora los robots y este libro es ideal. Es de cartón y en inglés. Los colores son muy vivos y las frases cortas. Nos encanta leerlo y describir las imágenes. Me parece perfecto para pequeños de entre dos y cuatro años.

Made my 4 year old grandson giggle the moment we started reading. He and his sister asked to have it read multiple times, one right after the other.
