Robot Zot! by Jon Scieszka and David Shannon

Robot Zot! by Jon Scieszka and David Shannon is geared towards children ages 3-7. This is a fun, new story about a robot named Zot. This robot thinks he can conquer all, but as seen throughout the illustrations in the story, the things he conquers are kitchen appliances. This story is fun and inventive. I ended up reading this to my pre-school art class that I teach at the Recreation Center and they loved it. I was surprised they sat still through the entire story because they are all about two years old, six of them, and they always run around crazy but every time I say 'story time' they sit down quietly. I was unsure if they would sit through this one because it can get kind of lengthy, but they did and they loved it. The color in this story is bright and bold. I love books that have bright colors and bold pictures that stand out. I feel like this helps tell the story. I really enjoyed this picture book and would recommend to read to a classroom as well as at home to any kid whether they like robots or not because they can learn and see about adventure, imagination, and many other fun things to discover while reading a new book!
