Little Robot, by Ben Hatke From School Library Journal Gr 2–4—Once again Hatke delivers a delightful graphic novel with a positive female role-model, fun non-humans, and a message of friendship. When a brown-skinned cherubic girl chances upon a robot that looks like a trash can, she finds a friend worth protecting. Each day they explore the junkyard and the surrounding forest, with the little girl acting as a guide to new sights and concepts. Both love playing together, but when the robot wants to leave, things go downhill. It is up to this resourceful girl to save him from the bad bots of the factory. With her trusty wrench in hand, she repairs parts, builds traps, and fixes hearts. Like the characters in the movie Wall-E, these robots have a limited range of facial expressions, so they "speak" and emote in sound effects. Changes in font size, punctuation, and position play just as large a role in comprehension as body language and composition. It's Hatke's skill in communicating the narrative and emotional complexities through visual cues that makes this such a strong offering. Though the girl and her bot start their journeys separately and in silence, by the end, music and friends surround them. Young readers, and those new to graphica, will find the easy-to-follow illustrations, large borderless panels, and steady pace welcoming. VERDICT A pleasantly colorful adventure of discovery and friendship. Highly recommended.—Rachel Forbes, Oakville Public Library, Ontario, Canada

2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Fun graphic novel; enjoyed by wide age range By M. OBrien We just received this book in the mail, the morning of its official release, thanks to Amazon pre-order. The kids were thrilled! Boys and girls ages 4-12 gathered around and poured over the picture and stories together, and then took turns reading it individually.Since they are big fans of Hatke's Zita series (see Zita the Spacegirl (Zita the Spacegirl Series)), the kids are excited to read all of his graphic novels.As a mom, I love that the pictures and stories draw the kids into books and inspire them to read.I asked the children what they thought of the book:"I really liked it. The setting (bridge and river and mountains) reminded me of my town. There's not many words, but I really enjoyed it." -- boy, 12"I really like it too, even though it's probably more for younger kids. The pictures were fun." -- girl, 11"A girl finds a robot but he wants to play with other robots like him. So he leaves her...I like the robot that fixes stuff. He fixes up all the other robos. I think it's silly... I like silly." -- boy, 8"The bridge looks like Virginia's bridge." -- boy, 5"Yeah, I like it. I like everything. It's about a girl and a robot." -- boy, 4
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Our hero is a little girl who likes to fix things and she saves a cute little robot from capture by the big bad robots with only By Nicola Mansfield Lovely, warm fuzzy cross between a wordless picture book and a graphic novel. Our hero is a little girl who likes to fix things and she saves a cute little robot from capture by the big bad robots with only the help of a wrench. I've read several of Hatke's books and his art is adorable. The majority of this title is wordless, next come sound effects but there are speech bubbles also and I'd say this would make a good visualized story for young non-readers to interpret as well. The girl and the robots are charming and I found myself rooting for them for the entire story. The book is timeless, it could be taking place now or in the future. The cuteness and junkyard robot setting brought to mind "Wall-E" and I believe this is going to be an endearing tale. I loved it!
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Our favorite book of 2015 By Ashia R. This was our single book purchase of the year after reading over a thousand books this year (my son is 3.5 and he loves reading it all by himself). It's got an ethnically diverse female lead into STEM without making it into a big thing. It's just dramatic enough to really get my 3.5 year old on his toes, and it's sweet and adorable and just wonderful. It's gone viral in our books for littles book group. Hatke's other book, Julia's House for Lost Creatures is also amazing. This author is the bees knees.
