This is an information filled and fun book that kids will love. Hey who doesn't like robots. There are lots questions answered here and lots of robots to mentioned that will fascinate you as you read this book. The art is good, clean and perfect compliment with the text. The cherry on top of this book is the card game with the picture of the robots and a short stats. This is a must read book that definitely kids will enjoy.

Robots is a very engaging and informative non-fiction book about robots that's well-suited for readers in grades one through five, especially those interested in technology, science, robotics, or AI. A wonderful feature of this book is that it is question-and-answer-based, so you can read sections of the book at a time without losing the plot or missing too much information. The pictures are engaging and help the readers understand the content. The content is written in an accessible and interesting way that will not only help readers understand robots but also develop an interest in them and how they work. This would be a great addition to any public or school library serving young readers, but it would also be a fantastic start to a STEM unit (or class), especially one on robots, technology, or inventions. Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC; highly recommend!

This is a great introductory books for maybe LKS2 students. The information is fun and engaging. It is also beautifully illustrated.

"Should we have a robot Olympics?" Oh, how timely – this six-year old book gets a reprint just as the memories of the Chinese humanoid bot games fade away. Still in the original set of eight books, and not updated at all if this is much evidence, this is still a pretty useful look at robots. The questions the human character asks of its robotic guide aren't always the most obvious or in the most obvious order (and on which subject sometimes the reading order feels too fast and loose for my taste), but all the same this conveys a lot of information.

The general pattern is that each spread is one question, such as can robots swim, or be our friend, and the droid responds with several examples. Running along the bottom of the page is a spread of leading questions for discussion and further learning. Layout issues (for me and the likes of my generation, if nobody else) aside, this looks fine, and it gets the reader's mind both educated and left thinking about life with robots, their shapes and function and future. A healthy four stars.
