LitPick Review
The book, The Saddest Little Robot, is about a world where robots live in peace in a huge dome. Or so the Drudgebots, robots who create the life-giving light, believe. Except for one little robot named Snoot. He questions the authority of the Guardbots and the Halobots while admiring them at the same time. At first, he desperately wants to become a Halobot, with golden armor instead of the junk used to create him. One day, he travels outside the dome. He accidentally finds the last Makerbot, a supposedly evil group of robots and learns about a great secret inside of him and of a great evil about to descend on the Drudgebots. To find out what happens, read the book.
Opinion:
I liked the book, The Saddest Little Robot. It was a little short, but it has a good plot and characters. It is full of secrets, admiration, betrayal, and rebellion. At first glance, one might pass over it because of it looks like a book for much younger children, but it really is not for children alone. I am 13 and I enjoyed it a lot. I think that if it was a longer book, it would be much better, but it would make a great book for a second or third grader. It does have some pictures, but they do not outweigh the words. I think that this book is good for all ages.
