Editorial Reviews

Product Description

When Robo is asked to name his favorite place, he can't decide. There is school, where he learns new ideas. The park, with the great climbing equipment. The swimming pool on hot days, and the skating rink in winter. The library, where Robo reads after school. The science museum with its interesting exhibits. How can he possibly decide?

4.0 out of 5 stars A GOOD BUY, May 22, 2001

By	anonymous "Francesca" (Madrid) - See all my reviews

This book is wonderfully illustrated in lush colors. The text is also very clearly laid out and is obviously intended for preschoolers to identify letters and objects. My own son was able to recognize the shape of a star from the drawings. The only fault and its very minor is that Robo's favourite place turns out to be the "world wide web' somewhat worrying in view of the fact that children spend so little time in the fresh air as it is these days. I highly recommend this book nonetheless.
