Julia Gorton.
This book is geared to two age groups. The simple rhyming text and uncluttered collage art will appeal to preschoolers; the illustrated sidebars, which briefly discuss such advances as microrobots, mesicopters, and robofish, are appropriate for older readers (who will be put off by the preschool look). Despite the bifurcated approach, this is an informative introduction. Websites.
