Fred thinks school is boring--and is convinced that his teacher is a robot intent on turning Fred and his classmates into boring robots as well. Fred unsuccessfully tries to convince his classmates (and the reader) of Mr. Bailey's nefarious plan. Brown's signature comics style is on vivid display in his first picture book. The vibrant spreads are full of details that kids will pore over.
