This book is about a robot that has landed on earth with the goal of destroying enemies on earth, which are mostly kitchen appliances. As he is blasting away his enemies, he sees the most beautiful girl he has ever seen, a telephone, and turns into a hero trying to save the princess. This book has a child like feel to it, due to the cartoonlike illustrations. The Robot Zot through out the book uses the rhyming battle cry "Robot Zot-never fall. Robot Zot-conquer all!" Which is catchy and something that would be easy to get your students to say with you as you read the book.
This is a book I would use with younger children. The dialogue in the book is written in such a way that it sounds robotic and would make the book more fun for the students to listen to. It could be pointed out as to why a robotic tone would be taken on by the reader. The illustrations in this book do a good job of reinforcing the text and extending the plot, if it weren't for the illustrations the reader would have no clue that Robot Zot was battling kitchen appliances. Another use for this book would be having some of the students come up with their own robot adventures.
