This is a wonderful book to read if you’re teaching a unit on friendship. In Peter Brown’s words, it’s a “robot nature story.”Ģ. It espouses strong values (loyalty, courage, tolerance, perseverance, kindness) all while exploring the possibility of a robot actually living and surviving in the wilderness. Why I LOVE This Book:ġ.It would be absolutely perfect as a read-aloud in a Grade 1 to 3 classroom. After battling a fierce storm and escaping a vicious bear attack, she realizes that her only hope for survival is to adapt to her surroundings and learn from the island’s unwelcoming animal inhabitants.Īs Roz slowly befriends the animals, the island starts to feel like home - until, one day, the robot’s mysterious past comes back to haunt her. She has no idea how she got there or what her purpose is - but she knows she needs to survive.
When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is alone on a remote, wild island. Themes: Fiction, Robots, Animals, Friendship, Survival, Adventure Publishing: Little, Brown & Company, 2016 So maybe you’re in the same boat and this is a “new” book for you, too. I’m really surprised I didn’t stumble across this book a lot earlier because it’s been around for two years and I LOVE Peter Brown’s picture book My Teacher is a Monster! (No, I Am Not.) I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed a chapter book on this blog, but after reading The Wild Robot, I absolutely HAD to share it with you. Heartwarming and full of action, Peter Brown's debut will raise thought-provoking questions about the role technology plays in society, how humans affect the world around us, and what it means to be alive.Īvailable Now from Hachette Audio as a CD and digital download, and in Hardcover and Ebook from Little, Brown for Young Readers.Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn But when she finds herself taking care of a baby goose, all the animals pitch in and teach Roz how to thrive in this new world.
