From Booklist:
This title, produced in conjunction with Yes magazine, introduces robots that work (defusing bombs, assembling cars, assisting surgeons, exploring Mars) and play (riding camels, kicking soccer balls). The short chapters are divided into three categories: The World of Robots, which gives an overview and a history of the industry; Robots at Work; and the Robotic Future. Each section is packed with fascinating information, entertaining cartoon graphics, and numerous full-color photographs. The text is hip and accessible; robots are often referred to as ’bots, for example. Browsers will be drawn to the amazing photographs of robots in action across the Earth and in space, as well as images of famous robots from the big screen, such as R2-D2 from Star Wars, Sonny from I, Robot, and Rodney from Robots. Sidebars on colored backgrounds enhance the text. A glossary and index conclude this well-organized and engaging text on a popular topic. Grades 3-7. --Shauna Yusko
