Robomop is a clever cleaning machine who longs for friends and fun, but he is stuck cleaning a bathroom in a basement. He thinks he's finally found a friend, but then he gets thrown away! Will Robomop ever find happiness?This would be a good book to use when teaching about descriptive verbs or onomatopoiea. A good read aloud book, but not necessarily a great book for a beginning reader by themselves. Some of the words and phrases are beyond the average lower elementary kid. Kids will probably love the illustrations as Robomop can strike some rather humerous poses. Robomop just wants to get out of the bathroom where he's been set to work all day alone by himself. He wants to see the outdoors and go on adventures. He wants to meet new people and he wants to do wonderful things with his time. He's just cut out for so much more than bathroom duty. My roommate brought this home with her one evening and we had a good laugh reading it. The story is really cute and definitely something that kids will be able to relate to in terms of wanting to escape responsibilities that may feel stifling. The illustrations are both interactive and entertaining through their use of movement. A very adorable read.
Amusing and cheery. The kids think it's great, and I like it, too.

I'd like to see Robomop duke it out with a Roomba in a sequel.
