One of my favorite chapter books for kids. A terrific idea-what happens about an adaptable robot who ends up in the wilderness-that is very well executed. This ended up being the first of a trilogy, all of which are worth reading, but this…

RLC 2022-2023. This is a much beloved book by so many. Roz is a robot surrounded only by nature. As she navigates her new life she makes friendships and connections all over this strange new world (for her).

Loved reading this innovative and charming story aloud to my five-year-old. The story kept us both fascinated, while diving into some really deep and interesting ideas about what makes someone alive/human. The end is a little harrowing,…

I suggest reading this in a family or with (3rd?) Grade classes. I am only halfway through, but it talks about taking steps to survive a new situation and handle mistakes. It even has a crabby (but helpful) old goose who yells at the robot…

The Wild Robot by Peter Brown (2016) is an appealing novel for kids 8 to 12 and/or as a family read aloud with lots of time for conversation. Yes, there is a robot. Not a ‘wild’ robot - more of a robot in the ‘wild’. That is if a forest…

I LOVED this book. I would read this over and over again if I could! I love the descriptions which were so vivid and made me feel like I was on the island. It seems so peaceful there! Overall, a great book and an easy read. I think that…

This story taps into the same, rich vein as The Iron Giant. It's a thin little volume, deceptively appropriate for younger readers, but be prepared -- it will make you cry.

Good book. If you love to read about animals and/or science fiction, go ahead. It's okayish, if those aren't your in your intrust zone. It's a good book, and it has a cliffhanger at the end (I'm not spoiling the book) that will make you…

It was interesting and exiting at the beginning but the last part was so sad that I almost cried. It was heartwarming and fun. It was the best story that I read . I love it.

I read this aloud to my 3.5 and 5.5 yr olds and they loved it! The whole family got swept up in the characters and the story and we couldn't wait to read the sequel!

My 8yo boy LOVED this book. We read aloud as a family nightly, always to the tune of "one more chapter!" Great pace, sweet story, likable cast of characters. Highly recommend.

The Wild Robot would make a great read aloud for the whole family! Peter Brown manages to successfully bring many elements together with a mix of nature (some good STEM related stuff) and science fiction. It is ultimately a page turning…

Our entire family fell in love with Roz the robot. She emulates not only the reasonableness we strive for as humans, but also the kindness and love that makes reason humane. This book dips into so many deep important themes, but does so in…
