MY THOUGHTS -
Well this book is just adorable (and not ish - it really is adorable)! It's about feeling lonely, sadness, and being afraid to try new things. There is a great little lesson to be learned.

There are great pictures! These robots are so cute - the toaster dog was my favorite (and I am not even a dog person!).

I hope this is only the first of many Melvin the robot books. I would love to see this become a series.
