dreamed of a smooth, shiny
shape.
When he woke in the
morning, he had an idea!
First he put on his tracks.
One by one, tight and strong,
rolling, strolling, all day long."
Little Robot is a visual and literary delight! He has a routine for his day at his cozy cottage. He loves the pond, and the habits that make his days sing. Like so many of us, Little Robot is not totally happy being on his own. He would love to have a friend.
Then, it happens. An idea pops into his head ... and he is on his way to something brand new.
"Little Robot bent the metal into a shape.
He used a screwdriver to attach the ends.
He worked,
and worked,
and WORKED!"
He is sure his work is done ... not quite. He discovers there are slight changes to make. Undeterred, he carries on. Soon, he has just what he is yearning for - a companion. He is filled with joy; he welcomes this new friend with open arms and an open heart. Their days are grand, their nights warm and comfortable. It is just as Little Robot dreamed it might be.
The story is warm and peaceful. Their are no unnecessary words. The songs are most enjoyable and could easily become part of the day's conversation for young fans. Matt Phelan uses watercolors and pencil to bring Little Robot and his world to glorious life. Little Robot, with his cheery disposition, his energy, and his creative imagination, will bring a smile to your face and to all those who hear his story.
It's a keeper!
