Robot in Love

40 pp. | Holt/Godwin | December, 2018 | Trade ISBN 978-1-250-18593-8 $17.99
(4) K-3 The robot narrator is in love ("I had never seen anyone so beautiful. / She was so shiny"). Readers don't learn who "she" is until book's end when the robot finally approaches its crush: a toaster in a shop ("She said nothing. But she didn't have to"). It's a good gag, with cartoony art that's a smidge limited in appeal by its valentine-card palette.
