And the Robot Went . . .

ebook

A mysterious box, a clever crew of builders, and a noisy mechanical creation ready to click, clang, and go.


Starting with a box of parts, the Nosy Fox, the Bear in a Blazer, the Blue Gnu, and other remarkable builders assemble the Robot, step by step. Clever verses introduce the Eager Beaver pulling the lever, the Wicked Witch flicking the switch, and the Crocodile turning the dial.


Each stage of the process has its own sound effect, and the growing list of sounds is repeated in every spread. The Band of Knights polishes the lights while the King of Dogs clobbers the cogs, adding more lively commotion.


Young children will happily Click, Clang, and Tappa Tappa along and relish the surprise ending of this winsome cumulative tale.

  • Teamwork: An imaginative coalition of woodland creatures, fairy tale figures, and storybook royalty combines diverse skills to construct a complex machine from scratch.
  • Animal Stories: A colourful cast of energetic critters leads the construction effort.
