This entry in the Cool Robots series is, in fact, incredibly cool. . . . The level of writing and the oversize format clearly position this for a young audience, but the content will attract older kids, who may pine for back matter providing additional information. Regardless, this is unusual, high-interest material that makes technology compelling.-- "Booklist"
