In this follow-up to Robot Zombie Frankenstein, two robots ingest some burp-inducing motor oil, and their counting--first by ones and later by tens--is punctuated accordingly. Readers will love the GI eruptions, but this seems like a cynical way to curry kids' interest in numbers. The bold geometric illustrations have airy white backdrops--a welcome respite in this loud offering.

PS
Robot meets Robot. One runs off and returns as Robot Zombie. The other zips off and returns as Robot Zombie Frankenstein. Who will win this friendly game of make-believe one-upmanship? They both do. Text and art are as minimal as can be; Simon's digitally created robots, composed of bright geometric shapes on a plain white background, have strong preschool appeal.
