Illustrated by
Tim Zeltner.
Typical bedtime stalling tactics are related by a young robot who doesn't want to power down. The little robot needs to brush its cogs and requests extra oil from Mom Unit. Little kids likely won't get the constant tech-jargon jokes ("What if my dreams have error messages again?"), but robot fans may be pleased nonetheless. Muted acrylic-on-plywood illustrations evoke dusk nicely.
