"With humor, pathos, and relatives galore, this will have wide appeal."--ALA Booklist (starred review)
An ALA Core Committee Excellence in Children's and Young Adult Science Fiction Selection
A shout-out for girl scientists and makers, Robobaby is an eye-opening and engaging blend of the familiar and the fantastic. A baby's arrival is a big moment in any family, even if they are robots. Picture book grandmaster David Wiesner captures the excitement and fanfare when baby Flange appears--as a crate full of components awaiting to be assembled into a bundle of joy. The adults bungle the construction process, with hilarious and increasingly chaotic results. Big sister Cathy, with her handy toolbox and advanced knowledge of robotics, hasn't been allowed to help, but in the ensuing havoc she calmly clears up the technical difficulties and bonds with her new baby brother.
David Wiesner has been awarded the Caldecott Medal three times, for Flotsam in 2007, The Three Pigs in 2002, and Tuesday in 1992. He has received the Caldecott Honor twice, for Sector 7 in 2000 and Free Fall in 1989. Free Fall is the first title he both authored and illustrated. His cover art now graces The Chronicles of Narnia by C. S. Lewis. Among many other accolades, David has been nominated for the Hans Christian Andersen Award.
