K-3Did You Know? series.
Illustrated by
Aaron Spurgeon
&
Mauricio Abril.
As this wide-ranging, humorous book filled with cartoonish animals makes clear, robots actually can dance but, as of now, only if humans program them that way. The book discusses other amazing things that robots can do (e.g., perform surgery, play chess) and how computers have changed modes of communication (phone, radio, TV, movies, GPS) and transportation (cars, airplanes). Random "Fun Facts" are appended.
