Join a toddler girl as she explores a new toy and discovers robotics! The main character has dark eyes and hair pulled back into two pig tails secured with beads. She is very excited to open a new toy robot dog. Readers learn that a robot is a machine that works with a computer on the inside. Code from the computer tells the robot dog how to complete actions like sitting down. Similar to the biological sensors in human eyes and ears, robots use microphones as sensors in their ears and cameras as sensors in their eyes. The computer then processes information from the microphone and camera to determine how to send signals to the robot dog’s moving parts. The robot dog’s computer is like a human’s brain. The main character visits a car-making factory and sees other robots at work, and readers learn that robots can also look like snakes, birds, or a cheetah. Robots can also have positive impacts at home, deep in the ocean, and in outer space. A diagram identifies the four main parts of a robot. The illustrations are colorful and simple, helping young children focus. This book is a wonderful addition to the “Baby Loves Science” series and would make a great gift for children. —Children's Literature
