A special look inside the new; highly anticipated, interactive children’s book:  The Robot Book.

So my son is head over heals in love with robots in general and loves to watch anything related to robots.  This includes but is not limited to, Astro boy–15 billion times, youtube videos of actual robotic life  and anything that resembles a robot….but has yet to LOVE a book about robots.

With so many of our children being raised on TV, movies, computers, iPads and the like, traditional means of education like board games and books are not as popular as their electronic counterparts.    So books may need to evolve from traditional and classic to hip and modern.

When I was pregnant, I purchased many books, envisioning my son or daughter reading all the time and loving books.  Now realistically, I’m a lover of books, so naturally I wanted him to be.  The problem was, I bought books, lots of them, but they weren’t good books for his age–and they still aren’t.

What some people don’t tell you is that babies will eat books, toddlers will rip pages and pull off extremities from the expensive books-and you are left with broken mush.  So the books you buy need to be very well made and durable.   So while all of the beautiful page books are sitting in a box in my closet, waiting for the day they’ll be respected-I can at least read him this one… I know.. aren’t I a fun mom?

This was all until I found this book:

It’s got thick pages that are easy for my son to open and easy for him to turn the pages. It’s bright and colourful and best of all, has moving pieces.

Not only does it show that it’s what is inside that really counts but it also shows how a robot is put together, allowing your child to move his arm, and his smile and open the robot’s chest.

Check it out for yourself!

This book is durable and is a must for this holiday season.  My son totally makes me read it every night!  Love it!
