description: Robots are much more than machines in the emotionally resonant world of Robobaby where the arrival of a new baby in a robot family is a festive occasion. Iconic picture book creator David Wiesner captures the excitement as Lugnut (father) Diode (mother) and big sister Cathode (Cathy) welcome the newcomer. Cathy with her handy toolbox and advanced knowledge of robotics and IT is ignored while the adults bungle the process of assembling baby Flange with near catastrophic results. As the frantic distracted adults rush about aimlessly Cathy unobserved calmly clears up the technical difficulties and bonds with her new baby brother. Robobaby is a shoutout for girl scientists and makers and a treat for all young robot enthusiasts.
