Reviews

Venable presents each invention with clearly listed supplies and comprehensive step-by-step instructions, balancing technical nonfiction elements and safety advice with an entertaining fictional narrative. --Publishers Weekly

Hudson's full-color illustrations are lively; together with Venable's patient and thorough directions, they should encourage young readers to take the plunge into making their own bots. --Kirkus Reviews
