Boy+Bot

Boy+Bot by Ame Dyckman, illustrated by Dan Yaccarino
A young boy was collecting pinecones in a forest when he is met with a robot. They proceed to have fun and play for a while until the robot fall down the hill and his power switch gets turned off. The boy doesn't know what to do except take the robot home and give him applesauce, read him stories, and tuck him in for bed. The boy falls asleep and then the robot wakes up to find the young boys' "power switch turned off". The robot takes the boy to his house where he proceeds to do everything he knows that will fix things. This includes giving the boy oil, read an instruction manual, and even  a spare battery. The robots invented walks in and the boy wakes up to find robot safe and fixed. The inventor then takes the young boy home where robot and the boy decide to play again the next day. This was just the start to a great friendship. This story tells the reader that sometimes it isn't the obvious friendship that are the best, even if it's far fetched such as making friends with a robot. This story is great for young children who love to play with heir friends; a teacher could even give an assignment for students to create their own robot friend in a drawing.
