5.0 out of 5 stars Engaging, imaginative read aloud for first grade!
My preschooler and first grade homeschoolers are loving this read aloud! My first grader can read it independently, but we choose to read it as a family instead. It's very age appropriate and has a unique, imaginative storyline of a robot who becomes like a living animal when she is stranded on an island. I am charmed by the robots character as she wins over the forest and even adopts a gosling as her own! The chapters are very short, typically spanning 2 or 3 pages. There are just enough illustrations to occupy my preschooler too. I highly recommend this book and can't wait to read the rest of the series.
5.0 out of 5 stars A must read
Wild Robots is a captivating read! Beautifully written, with lovable characters and thought-provoking themes. The story is both thrilling and emotional, with stunning illustrations. A must-read for fans of sci-fi and adventure. Highly recommend!
5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!!
The Wild Robot series by Peter Brown is absolutely amazing! It’s such an engaging and heartwarming story that my seven-year-old absolutely loves. The series is packed with adventure, emotion, and valuable lessons, making it a perfect choice for young readers.Since it’s a chapter book, it might be a little challenging for second graders to read on their own, but reading it together as a parent-child activity is wonderful. After we finished the series, we watched the movie, and it was just as amazing! I highly recommend this series—it’s a great way to bond with your kids while enjoying a fantastic story.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth a Read
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown is a captivating and thought-provoking novel that blends adventure, nature, and technology in a way that appeals to readers of all ages. The story follows Roz, a robot who unexpectedly finds herself stranded on a remote island. As she navigates the challenges of survival and adapts to the natural world, she discovers the complexities of life, friendship, and what it truly means to be alive.What makes this book especially engaging is its thoughtful exploration of themes such as empathy, community, and the environment. Roz is a robot, but her journey is deeply human—her growth and learning reflect the importance of connection and understanding, even in the most unlikely circumstances.My 10-year-old daughter absolutely loved this novel. She was drawn to Roz’s transformation from a cold, programmed machine to a caring, sentient being who forms bonds with the island’s creatures. The mix of humor, adventure, and heart made it an easy read for her, while still offering depth that sparked some great conversations about nature, technology, and what it means to belong.The illustrations by Peter Brown, which complement the story, were a big hit with my daughter too. They added a rich visual element to the narrative and helped bring the world of the island and its inhabitants to life in a way that made the book even more engaging.Overall, The Wild Robot is a perfect choice for young readers, offering both entertainment and valuable lessons. It’s the kind of book that not only keeps kids hooked but also encourages them to think about the world in a deeper way. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a unique and heartfelt story that both children and adults can enjoy.
4.0 out of 5 stars An Absolute Must Read for Classrooms!
Let me share about a book that truly touched my heart: "The Wild Robot"! I'd heard so many good things about it from other teachers. I started reading it to my second graders, and some of them had already seen the movie (we had a strict "no spoilers!" rule, obviously 😉), but we all went on this awesome adventure together. When summer started, before we could finish, I just had to read the rest on my own.My students were absolutely glued, hanging on every word as I read about Roz, this super special robot who adopts a baby goose and becomes part of this wild island animal family. This isn't just a kids' book; it has these quiet, powerful lessons packed inside that are just gold for young minds (and grown-ups too!). Through Roz, we discovered beautiful ideas about accepting everyone for who they are, looking out for others instead of just ourselves, being brave enough to offer help no matter how different someone might seem, and how incredibly strong the love within a family can be.My favorite part was seeing Roz grow. She started as just a machine, but slowly, beautifully, she became a robot with a warm, living "heart". And the pictures in the book? They're like magic windows into Roz's world! They go so perfectly with the story that my students were inspired to write their own stories and draw their own robots having an adventure.My new class starting in August is in for a real treat, because "The Wild Robot" is definitely going back on our read-aloud list. Honestly, whether you're cozying up at home or sharing stories in a busy classroom, this book is an absolute must-read. You'll just fall in love with it, I promise!
Great read!
Such a great book cant wait to start reading the other books in the series! My son loves it. And we just barely found out that it has a movie!
Good book
My 12 years old son liked it 👍
Must read!!!
Got it after my daughter after she saw the trailer to the movie, she loved it and finished it in a week!! This is the first in the series and it was absolutely so engaging!!
great book
my class and i loved this book. it had a great story line and very descriptive language. thank a lot
Great book for adults and children
A mark of a truly good children's book, is one that adults enjoy reading as well. This is one of those books. Bought it for my 7 yr old. We both agreed that this is by far the best book we've read together. The story is well thought out, we felt we could relate to the main characters and the author touches on several important points through the course of the book.
