The Wild Robot on the Island by Peter Brown
Cbr17bingo Red (the red that highlights the top of the cover) The Wild Robot on the Island by Peter Brown is currently available, yet I read via an online reader. This picture book is based off of the novel also by Brown. It takes the highlights of the first book (or I am assuming as I have not had the chance to read the series yet) and adapts them for the five and up crowd. Overall the book is fun and cute. It has moments […]
The Wild Robot Protects by Peter Brown
This book is from the Wild Robot series, by Peter Brown. This series, and this book in particular, is heartwarming and charming. This book could cheer you up after any kind of day. This also comes with the advent of the movie just released based on the first book, which I have not seen yet, but am excited to. Let’s just get right into it I suppose. So first, assuming you’ve read the other two books, there are quite a few similarities. It is equally […]
The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
This book is set in the future, in which robots do everything, and anything. It follows a robot by the name of Roz as she learns to survive in the wild after crashing into an isolated island.

The Wild Robot Escapes by Peter Brown
This book is a sequel, set in the same world as the first one. (A future run by robots) It follows Roz again, this time as she is taken from her home and her son and put on a farm to work. She wishes to escape and return to her family on her island, but the two children who live on the farm discover her intentions before she can run. This book is truly adorable, and a good reminder of human compassion, especially in today’s […]
Creepy Crayon! by Aaron Reynolds
With a nod to Aaron Reynolds and Peter Brown’s other collaboration, Creepy Pair of Underpants! (and possibly the first Creepy Tales title Creepy Carrots! which I might have missed) their rabbit hero Jasper is back in Creepy Crayon! Jasper is failing his classes. Of course, he could have studied but his favorite TV show was on. And well, there is always something more important (or interesting) than math. But when he finds a purple crayon (that oddly enough seems pleased to be picked up off […]
Fred Gets Dressed by Peter Brown
Fred Gets Dressed is a modern story about a child finding the outfit that fits that day’s expression. As a wild, independent, and typical kid, Fred, runs around naked. Then decides to try an experiment with their parents clothing coming to an understanding what outfit works best. It is an obvious story, simple and sweet. The “middle ground” with the liking or not category would be: “I did not hate it but did not love it.” There will be several “OMG! Loooooved it!” (Said in […]
