My rare reader finished this in a day! So good!

My son (9) rarely gets pulled in, or sticks with books he tries out. We got this yesterday, and he finished it in less than 24 hours. He was so hooked, he kept telling me about it, and reading passages to me. We're going to order the second one!

Great real aloud for second grade!

My students are enjoying the beauty of a robot befriending wild animals on a deserted island. Highly recommend.

Wonderful story of love, nature and understanding

This is a beautifully written story of love, bravery and respect for all life. It is a heartfelt story of forgiveness and acceptance. So many wonderful messages in this story. My children loved reading this each night. We ended up reading the sequel to it (The wild robot returns) right after.

Read this on a car ride and was tearing up

Peter Brown had a question that burned in his mind for years, what would happen if a robot was out in the natural world? The answer is a lot of cuteness but with truth. Roz is the main character who is a learning robot that crashes onto an island. Roz has to learn how to survive, speak with the animals, and the animals have to trust Roz. Together the robot and the animals help each other survive and become friends. There are lessons about death, growing up, and accepting who you are. While reading this in the car, I was tearing up near the end. I am excited for the second installment to come out.
