Robot Zot


Here is a short list of things that kids like
robots- Beep
heroics- Check
humor- You bet cha
action- (explosion)
a little bit of destruction- how many ways can you destroy a toaster?
and a touch of romance- Eww
Robot Zot crashes into an alien environment ( also known as the suburbs), battles with fearsome kitchen appliances and a challenging TV, and rescues the Queen of all Earth (a toy cell phone) before zooming off "to distant galaxies to bravely save more days." Shannon's crazy, action-filled illustrations can be a little confusing, but also contain so much humor. The bold, funny, over-the-top text and art are the perfect complement to one another. This is a truly fun and exciting story for K-2 graders to be read-aloud to.

Readability- 3/5 Although the GLE is 2.5 it is much to hard for a 2nd grader to read alone
Illustrations 5/5 Awesome illustrations that enhance the test and make this story great
Application 2/5 Aside from a good laugh for read-aloud this story doesn't offer much in creating additional lessons from.
