K-3I Like to Read series.
Jake turns Robug ("Remote Operating Basic Utility Gizmo") on and commands it to "fix this mess." Robug energetically fires into action, but things don't quite turn out right. Funny details in Arnold's characteristic cartoon-style illustrations build momentum from page to page, and the vocabulary is simple enough to allow the newest readers to enjoy it all on their own.
