TIME For Kids Explorers: Robots Publisher: Time For Kids Publication Date: June 2014 ISBN: 978-1618933737 Reviewed by: Ellen Feld Review Date: July 23, 2014 Did you know that a robot can help a surgeon operate on a real person? Wow! Did you know there is a snake-like robot that can creep and crawl into small, tight spaces and push through debris while sending back images to see if humans are trapped below the rubble? Youll learn about these two robots and so much more in this new book from TIME for Kids Explorers. This almost 100 page book is loaded with page after page of really neat robots that do everything from explore the depths of the ocean to go into outer space. First, the reader will get a little history on robots, and learn where the word robot came from, when the first robot was made, and what early designs looked like. Have you read the famous book, I, Robot, by Isaac Asimov? Its mentioned in here, along with Asimovs famous Three Laws of Robotics. After reading about the history of robots, the rest of the book is divided into seven chapters: Robots that Work, Protect, Explore, Fly, Help, Play and my favorite, Robots that Kids Make. Theres no need to read Robots page-by-page, its the perfect book to flip back and forth, finding interesting sections (hint: theyre all interesting!) that grab your attention. Bright, clear photos abound on each and every page. In short, this is a great book for kids who want to learn about robots! Quill says: For kids who love robots, this is a totally cool book!
