This book was really fun to read out loud. And it turns into a robot!

"I liked 5 because I thought they were actually real robots." Very imaginative in how you can flip the book over.

Is this the best picture book ever written? Perhaps. Has everything a well rounded kid wants in a book: robots, becoming a robot, neon orange, destruction, direct action against authority (in this case, the narrator), a little mouse hiding in the kitchen, and a dog. If only it had a blown up mailbox. Oh wait! There it is! Perfect.

On the cover, there's a warning: This Book Turns Into a Robot. It does not disappoint.

The happy ending is that everything turns into robots, including the book itself. A++. Good moral.

One of the most fun picture books I've read! So creative! The narrator talks to the main character, but when the boy takes his recipe for Robosauce and turns into a robot, he takes over the story and it transforms (with the help of a hidden fold out book jacket with directions for humans) into something completely different. Kids will have so much fun with this. Teachers will appreciate the metacognitive aspects. All will appreciate the sense of family and the ending.

Not bad, a little disappointing when compared to his Dragons love Tacos book. I like that the book transforms into a robo-book but doubt that the flap will stand up to multiple check outs.

Adam Rubin and Daniel Salmieri go together like macaroni and cheese. Peanut butter and jelly. Robots with.......more robots! Robo-Sauce is the hilarious story of a boy who decides that being a robot is WAY more fun than being a squishy human. It's a fourth-wall breaking book, a little more so than Dragons Love Tacos, and it flipped my expectations a bit. This would be a hoot to read one on one and even in a group of preschoolers or kindergartners.
