Book Reviews of The Robot and the Bluebird
Book Review: This is a heartwarming tale that your youngster will want you to read time and time again!
Summary: 5 Stars
The little Robot had a broken heart. He put his hand on his head, the other close to his chest next to a heart that had literally fallen out of his chest. Everyone tried to help him out and fix him, but nothing was working. It looked like there were many replacement parts, but there wasn't anything to help him and he was "sent to sit on the scrap heap with all the other old machines." He just sat on that heap through all kinds of weather and through several seasons. Nothing.
Then on one cold and snowy day, a Bluebird landed on him. Robot wanted to know where he was going and when he found out the little bird was exhausted he offered him the space where his heart was. The little bird nestled inside his heart. "My old heart only ever said ticktock," said the Robot, "but now my heart is singing." The bird would soon have to leave . . . what would Robot do? Would his heart forever be empty?
This is a beautiful, heartwarming tale. If this was a movie, the reader might be tempted to sit in his seat until the last of the credits ran off the screen. This is a book that a young child will want read to them time and time again to visit with the Robot and Bluebird. The parent, teacher or care giver will want to read it so they can warm their hearts and smile at the ending!
Summary of The Robot and the Bluebird
?Let me carry you,? said the Robot.
?I?ll carry you in my heart, and shelter you from the cold and storms.?
High atop a pile of rubbish sits a lonely Robot with a broken heart. Then one winter?s day, a Bluebird appears, fighting against the freezing wind. When the Robot offers her a home in the empty space where his heart used to be, neither of them can predict what astonishing things will happen. Together the newfound friends set off on a memorable journey that will change them both.
This fable-like tale, bursting with bright, winsome illustrations, is a fresh take on the timeless themes of friendship and second chances.
