Children under 10 yrs. gain exposure to robotics, technology & positive images from this concise book. Former Chicago Public School Superintendent Ted Kimbrough comments, "The schools of this nation should readily adopt this book to teach our children the values that they are currently missing." "This multicultural book is about a creative, enterprising African-American child who, with the support of his Mom & Dad, dreams of building his own robot. The child finds a broken robot named "ROBBY ROBO" who is destined for the trash heap. Responding to the robot's plea, the child retrieves the robot--recycles it by installing new parts & makes it as good as new. With his new parts "ROBBY ROBO" becomes a fun & helpful companion.
