Welcome to Litsy!

Finally reading this popular book and reading it with one of my favourite kids. 🥰 The short chapters are exactly what he needs to be motivated to move from more graphic novels / short text to more sustained reading. #proudmama #familyofreaders #booksbindus

This book is amazing! I‘ve spent the past 3 weeks reading this aloud to my 2nd graders and we loved it. It started off slow, but we all became so invested in this robot and her friends and family. Many tears were shed and we can‘t wait to read The Wild Robot Escapes. #readaloud

A very cute book about a robot stranded on an island, who learns to be wild with the help of the many animals who eventually accept her. The occasional illustrations throughout were really lovely, and I especially enjoyed the exploration of found family and friendship. Took me a few chapters to really get into it, but once Roz adopted a baby goose I was completely sold.

Been obsessed with this cover art forever and now finally reading it

#30JuneBooks - Wild Books: Truth...I like reading children‘s literature. It‘s not usually weighed down by the complications of romance or the blasé weariness of an overexposed-done-everything living or the complexity of adulting. It‘s usually just a story reminding the reader that there is a way to still believe that there could be magic, pirates, flying cars, dragons, talking animals, robots & many more fantastical beings. I believe. I believe...

When robot Roz opens her eyes for the first time, she discovers that she is alone on a remote island. Why is she there? Where did she come from? And, most important, how will she survive in her harsh surroundings? Roz's only hope is to learn from the island's hostile animal inhabitants. When she tries to care for an orphaned gosling, the other animals finally decide to help, and the island starts to feel like home.

5 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Wonderful middle grade book about friendship and family. Roz is feared by the wild animals until she begins to help them one by one and they learn to trust and love her.

"Perhaps I am simply meant to help others." ❤️

Super cute and touching story of a lost robot who learns to be wild and a mother from the creatures of the forest.

This semester I did my service learning in a 3rd grade classroom. I saw this book sitting on one of the students desk, and the first thing I thought was “I didn‘t know Peter Brown wrote novels!” So I picked it up and decided to give it a try. This SF novel is great! I‘m not a fan of science so this definitely took me by surprise. There was a shipwreck, and all the robots didn‘t make it, but Roz did. She finds herself on an island thinking that‘s

🤖🌳 You may know Peter Brown for his amazing illustrations from Creepy Carrots or Mr. Tiger Goes Wild, but The Wild Robot shows a different side of his work. This SF novel is about a robot, named Roz 7134, who becomes stranded on an island due to a shipwreck. It was one of the 2017-2018 Sunshine State Young Reader books! #LAE3414sp19

I finished this with my class today and it was bittersweet because my kids were totally enthralled! Such a moving story. I think it‘s perfect for teachers of upper elementary. Also perfect for humans who are not teachers! 😄

January stats. I‘m cheating a little because this assumes I‘ll finish The Secret Place today. 🤞🏻#time to read

I am positively obsessed with this book!! I‘m using it as a 3rd grade read aloud and it‘s super philosophical and brings up so many deep questions! It‘s pushing me AND my students in the best possible ways!

An excellent way to bring children into the joys of Sci-Fi! In addition to the inclusion of female animal characters (and robots), the book‘s compelling story of exploration and the nature of growth, life, and death will open the door to powerful conversations with children and adults alike!

Can‘t believe I waited so long to finally sit down and finish this one! I loved Roz the robot and all the woodland creatures! This would be a great family or classroom read-aloud.

This was a cute book. There were pretty big questions that were never answered. It is apparently the first in a series. This book celebrates friendship, learning, survival, and responsibility. It was slow and i am not sure how well it would hold a kids attention. However, it is an interesting take on the “survival” tale.

We loved this book! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I totally cried at the end.

Lovely story. Such a good book. Can't say enough food things about it. Perfect for bed time reading to kiddieos.

A really lovely book and story. I plan to buy this book for some of the young readers in my life.

Sweet. And outstanding illustrations.

This was a smart and thoughtful middle grade novel. Roz is a curious robot who learns to talk to animals and becomes "wild" thanks to her adaptive learning programming. As an adult reader, it can feel a little slow and simplistic, but I can see this really clicking with some kids' imaginations. As with any good robot book, there is also some epic fight scenes with laser canons ?

A robot wilderness survival adventure. Roz learns by watching what animals do & she also befriends them. An all-ages #audiobook with music & sound effects that would be great for family car trips with young children. Narrator Kate Atwater flexibly interprets the conversations of different animals as well as robotic Roz & Roz‘s efforts to modulate her voice in a friendly way. Brown‘s illustrations are worth seeking out the print edition too.

Kate Atwater is great narrator for this children‘s #audiobook, but I feel like I‘m missing out without Peter Brown‘s illustrations. I found some online to see how Roz the robot is presented visually. She isn‘t made to look frilly in any way. ❤️🤖👍

A thumbs up to all of these middle grade books! Very different styles, situations, and characters. Would recommend each and every one of them. #fortheloveofreading

5 ⭐️ what an amazing story. I couldn‘t put it down this afternoon and finished it all in one day! I‘m going to check and see if the sequel is on SCRIBD- I just read it! Do yourself a favor and after you finish Ghetto Cowboy ( last post) immediately start this one pleaseandthankyou.

4 pages in and I am already in love. I LOVE BEING A CHILDRENS LIBRARIAN 🙌🏻📚💙

It is reading week at my sons' school. Instead of regular homework this week they have a list of reading activities to complete. Tonight they chose reading in the bathtub with out water. They made a cozy reading nest with 4 pillows and 2 blankets. Not a bad way to end the day.

Mostly, I don‘t care for stories without people. But this story... this story I loved.

When a crate full of robots crashes on a deserted island only one robot survives, Roz. Essentially born on the island, Roz quickly realizes she is not like the animals who fear her. In order to survive, the robot embarks on a grand journey to become “wild” like the animals.

This was a fantastic story and wonderful audio performance.

We haven‘t had much of a winter in northwest Oregon. It‘s the beginning of February and I have primroses blooming, and crocuses and tulips coming up. It was time for some much needed maintenance today.

I‘m enjoying Wild Robot now, but I must say it was a slow start for me. I haven‘t met anyone else who has felt that way though, and everyone else seems to have loved it from the start.

Some much needed #booktherapy today. My one year old decided not to take a nap, so we headed to the library. I wasn't planning to get anything for myself, but I figured I deserved it since there was no other break coming my way today!

The Wild Robot was a refreshing F read about a robot named Roz who finds her way onto an island where she meets many different animals along her journey. It uses an unusual second-person point of view, which at times gives the reader the feeling of being read a mystical story. It‘s no surprise this book earned the Sunshine State Young Reader Award and is a New York Times Bestseller. It would be best utilized for IR...

I love this book, a great MG read sure to be a hit with anyone who loves a story about robots & animals, or, better yet, both together on an island. Roz, as she comes to be known, is the only survivor of a shipwreck. She washes ashore on an island. At first the animals are afraid & call her a monster but things start to change when Roz adopts a gosling. Robots and nature & a whole lot of heart. Oh, and great illustrations. A delightful read.

Previewing a MG for some young readers today. Peter Brown‘s picture books are fabulous so I‘m eager to see what he does with a MG. Plus, robots! ❤️🤖❤️

This is one of my fourth-grader's Battle of the Books books. It's on sale on Audible for $3.95 right now, so I snatched it up. My family listened to it on a car trip this week. It's the story of a robot stranded on an island who makes friends with all the animals and even adopts one. It is a very sweet story. There is some action to keep it interesting. We all enjoyed it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ #battleofthebooks #bob #kidsaudio

"Maybe Roz really was defective, and some glitch in her programming had caused her to accidentally become a wild robot. Or maybe Roz was designed to think and learn and change; she had simply done those things better than anyone could have imagined. However it happened, Roz felt lucky to have lived such an amazing life." - Peter Brown, The Wild Robot, p. 268.

I'm already charmed by the illustrations in this book! Has anyone else read this? I have a feeling it'll be a quick and sweet read ☺️

Explores the animal-robot relationship, working together, acceptance of otherness, understanding your own story, and grey areas for rules. Handled masterfully by Peter Brown. #CampReadALot

#summerTBR here are more books that I hope to get through this summer 🌈🌞🌼❤️📚😻🌈

I bought this on a whim and have found it to be utterly delightful. It's the first book where I've found myself wanting book darts to go back and note some lovely bits. The way Brown allows Roz to grow and progress seems as natural as the season, and the description of the animals is charming. It has made proctoring our high stakes tests tolerable as I'm reading it while we wait to be dismissed.

Sweet and clever middle grade book about a robot who crash lands on an island and learns to fit in with the wild animals there. Great audiobook!

This has to be one of the world's sweetest sci fi stories! Simple enough for smallish children, but I feel like most readers of any age would be charmed by it. (Would be such a great animated film too!) 💚🤖💚

Roz is back in October!!!! If you haven't read The Wild Robot yet, please do. The writing is beautiful and the story bittersweet. It was an especially wonderful read aloud for us since at the heart of it is an adoption story.

This is the second time the 7yo has read this charming, funny book, and the 9yo and I loved it just as much.

I absolutely loved this book! It's middle grade, but all ages should read and appreciate it's message of acceptance, kindness, and love for the natural world around us. The illustration are delightful, and I laughed out loud several times over the unexpectedly funny and adorable dialogue.

This little book is such a delight!

Perfect snow day. Finally starting The Wild Robot - one of the best book covers of 2016, hands-down.
