    Book Spotlight: Sometimes I Forget You’re A Robot
    The Children’s Book Review

    Sometimes_I_Forget_You're_a_Robot


      Reading level: Ages 3-5

      Hardcover: 24 pages

      About the Book

      For a boy who’s always wanted a robot, actually getting one isn’t what he expected at all. The robot can’t do any of the things robots are supposed to be able to do. He can’t fly, or swim, or even talk. All he does is beep beep beep like a toy. But the boy soon realizes that his robot does have a hidden talent for building tree houses – and for being a great friend.

      This unexpectedly sweet story about adjusting expectations and appreciating what you have teaches us that while no one is perfect, a good friend can come close.

        This sounds like a great book. My nephew who going to be three would like it. He loves truck, plans and books!! What happens to children to make them non readers as they get older?
