Illustrated by
Bob Staake.
Kids are treated to a robot-palooza of sorts: they'll marvel at the robot-centered sights described in tight, peppy rhymes ("Tractor robots plant and plow. / Robots even milk a cow!"). Staake supplies his trademark geometrically decisive images in colors so boisterous and in scenes so joyful that they manage to make the largely mechanical cast seem huggable.
