Whether the robots are using themselves and their differing features to demonstrate a fact, or arguing over ice-cream, early readers are sure to enjoy the illustrations.

Text: The text is enhanced by the illustrations, as it is simple and straightforward. It gives young readers the opportunity to easily compare the text with the illustrations in order to adequately demonstrate fact versus opinion.

Conclusion

This is a great addition to any early or young reader collection. it is fun and snappy without being overly simplified.
