BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - OPTIONAL
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Two robots are going through a toy box and they keep finding the perfect pairings of toys. One finds a wand and one finds a hat and together they have magic, for example. When they find a car and a remote, things gets messy when one of them wants both items. While they are tugging on the item, it opens up and they discover a secret button that activates a dance party.
I am so confused about this book. It seems like the message should clearly be that sharing is good, but the message ends up being that fighting over toys equals fun discoveries. The pictures are great and kids love robots, plus it is a fun book to read aloud because of robot voices. But the message is a problem.
