This humorous picture book uses robots to help kids explore big emotions. Did you know robots never stay up past their bedtime? They power down right at seven o'clock. And when robots are upset, they never hit. They use their programming language: BLEEP BLOOP! But even robots with all the latest updates will occasionally malfunction. Meltdowns happen. And while they are no fun, they don't last forever. Meltdown! normalizes big emotions and explores some ways to cope with even the biggest mega robot meltdowns. With colorful illustrations full of imaginative details, this pun-tastic picture book is fun to read for robo-kids and grown-up robots alike.

4 ⭐This book is a really great metaphor. We‘re looking at a robot world where they never do anything bad because they‘re programed not to. However, robots occasionally have a meltdown. It doesn‘t matter the reason, maybe it‘s not enough food, maybe it‘s not enough sleep, maybe the robot had to wash behind it‘s ears. Every once in a while, malfunctions happen, but the best part is a reset button. This book is well done and illustrations are great

AnnR Cute illustration. 🙂 1y
