The narrator, a human boy, see robots everywhere: riding the bus, playing catch with sewer grates, eating nuts off metal plates ("nuts" as in nuts-n-bolts, that is).

Each double-page spread contains one sentence of the simple, rhyming text. The cartoon illustrations, done in watercolor and ink, are filled with comical scenes depicting endearingly expressive, pop-eyed robots going about their daily lives: learning phonics in android school, getting their hair styled with a blow torch, rusting at the beach.

Classroom Experiences: We took Robots Everywhere into two classrooms. The first, a Pre-K class of three- and four-year-olds, delighted in the story as a read-aloud. We also took the book into a second-grade classroom where the students read it independently. It was enormously popular, with students poring over the artwork's clever details and wordplay. A definite winner!

Highly recommended.
