What people are saying
I wanted to let you know how much the kids love your book. I was with them yesterday and not only read this to Addie at least 3 times, but much of our play time was centered around 'surgery.' Her octopus arms had to search around and find what was wrong with me!
~ Kathy T.

Wow, what a beautiful well written book. Beautiful large pictures of the animals, and matching "robots." Beautiful colored pages. Great descriptive language which is easy to understand. She even included a glossary! Definitely has all the features of a great nonfiction text used in the classroom! Very well done!
