Top PickThink “robot” and some pretty popular robots come to mind: Rosie from The Jetsons, Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Robbie from Lost in Space, K9 from Doctor Who and, of course, the space-traveling duo C3PO and R2D2 of the Star Wars saga. But guess what? Robots don’t just exist in science fiction; robots are very real. And there’s a variety of robots available to a lot of different people around the world!There are robots that work, robots that help, robots that fly, and robots that explore. These robots are helping people to live better lives and to explore more about our world and even outer space. There are robots helping soldiers who are fighting in wars, robots that help scientists explore the deepest part of the ocean, and robots helping doctors perform delicate surgery. There are robots helping teachers, people at their jobs, and robots that help young kids to learn new things. Some robots help people to build things and other robots will carry heavy objects that a person cannot lift. There is even a robot working in outer space that helps astronauts! While this is a book written for kids, grown-ups may find this book to be very interesting. My young son loved reading this book and got excited over the section of the book that includes robots made by kids.Time for Kids Explorers: Robots is a great book for young readers interested in learning about what kind of real, actual robots that can be found in places like factories, schools and hospitals. This book shows young readers just how useful and helpful robots are and why we need them. If you’ve ever wanted to learn about what kind of real robots help people with work, as well as robots that can play sports like soccer, this book will not disappoint.Review by: DawnColclasureDisclosure: Review copy from the publisher for an honest review.
TIME always does a nice job with their kids' books, and ROBOTS is no exception. It's possible to make robots very boring, in my opinion, but this book held both my attention and my 10-year-old daughter's for several nights running at bedtime. It's got a lot of pictures and call-outs that make it good for a variety of ages and grade school reluctant readers. My favorite robot is Cyro the jelly bot -- a robot jellyfish owned by the U.S. Navy and created by students from Virginia Tech. - Rita Arens, author of contemporary young adult novel THE OBVIOUS GAME (InkSpell Publishing, 2013)The Obvious Game and editor of parenting anthology SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK (Chicago Review Press, 2008) Sleep Is for the Weak: The Best of the Mommybloggers Including Amalah, Finslippy, Fussy, Woulda Coulda Shoulda, Mom-101, and More! (Blogher Book).
This entire book is about robots. As you look through the table of contents you will be able to choose the areas you want to pursue. The many areas include: robots at work, robots that protect, robots that explore, robots that play and more.I am choosing to tell you about the one section I really enjoyed learning about which was ROBOTS THAT HELP. I learned about the robots who assist people with injuries in their limbs and how they can begin to use those limbs due to the robots that are attached. One woman was in a full "robot suit" and she was able to walk again due to the robot. What a blessing for her and many others.If your child finds robots interesting, I believe this may be a book that will bring some serious reading and learning for your child.*I reviewed this for review - all opinions are my own*
this was for a 9 year old boy, he loves the book
Grandson loved this Timely publication on Robots that he's constructing!
