Description Share Post The Lost Robot Joe Todd-Stanton (Flying Eye Books) When it awakens in its rubbish dump, the little robot’s uncertain as to where it’s meant to be. Who is it? Could walking away from this place lead to its real home? As it walks it remembers the smiling face of the child with whom it lived. It remembers ‘Battles/ Games/ Journeys/ Mysteries/ Quests/ Stories/ Stunts/ Adventures’. In fact its memories inspires the robot’s quest to tidy itself up, to reach its home. However, what will it find? Might it be something such as Boot finds? Then again, what if this home does not seem to need it? Could it decide that the best place to be is ‘under the toppling towers of rubbish’, to sleep and waste away? Or might there be another way? In fact, another place it’s meant to be? ‘Along the coast… through the countryside… and to the mountains‘ to become something different, with parts to love? Joe Todd-Stanton‘s pictures and picture books enthral readers. Just think of his Professor Brownstone’s Mythical Collection, for example. Thereafter, The Lost Robot is a moving, beautiful, insightful picture book. Its messages of love, time, acceptance and rehabilitation are truly special. Bookwagon loves and recommends this wonderful book.
