The Wild Robot

The Wild Robot
by Peter Brown

What happens when a robot ends up on an island?  It becomes a wild robot!  When robot Roz becomes shipwrecked on an isolated island, she must learn to adapt to life with a variety of wild animals who, at first, are terrified of what they think is a monster!  Will the other inhabitants of the island ever learn to accept Roz?

Peter Brown has always been one of my favorite authors and illustrators, in fact I recently completed a unit of his work with my kindergartners.   The Wild Robot is his first chapter book and I was just as thrilled with this book as I have been with his outstanding picture books!  This story of friendship, family, and survival is full of entertaining characters and many heartwarming moments.   The excellent illustrations that Peter Brown is known for complete this wonderful story.  It is definitely a book that I plan to recommend to many of my readers and hope that Peter Brown will continue to write more books like this!
