Description
A boy makes a robot mother, imagining all the things it could do that his always-busy mother does not, but he soon realizes the great things that only his real mother does.
Quick Summary
Imagine a kid who builds a robot mom to handle chores, then discovers the real thing does something no machine can. The story mixes laugh-out-loud robot inventions with a warm, surprising twist that makes readers giggle and feel a little teary. If your kid likes "The Most Magnificent Thing" by Ashley Spires, they'll love the inventive spirit and tender message of "Mama Robot." It is perfect for children ages 5 to 8, roughly kindergarten through second grade, with an AR level of 2.9.
