Of course, it was much cheaper on desertcart. The book is a great way for a child to interact with a book. There are a good variety of gears that your child will have to figure out how it works. Our son is 16 months and he really enjoys this book. He still hasn't quite figured out all of the movements yet, but he is slowly getting it. The book we got is great quality. It is made of a nice and sturdy material. It can definitely hold up to most of what a child will do to books (rough flipping of pages, dropping it, sucking on it, etc.) The prints themselves look good and are fairly detailed. We are happy with this purchase. Review: disappointed, but my fault - I should have read more of the reviews before purchasing. The board book 6 pages long. The illustrations are cute, but the plain, basic book is not worth $8. Returned it upon delivery.

A fun, interactive book.
We saw this book in a bookstore and new we had to have it. Of course, it was much cheaper on amazon. The book is a great way for a child to interact with a book. There are a good variety of gears that your child will have to figure out how it works. Our son is 16 months and he really enjoys this book. He still hasn't quite figured out all of the movements yet, but he is slowly getting it. The book we got is great quality. It is made of a nice and sturdy material. It can definitely hold up to most of what a child will do to books (rough flipping of pages, dropping it, sucking on it, etc.) The prints themselves look good and are fairly detailed.

disappointed, but my fault
I should have read more of the reviews before purchasing. The board book 6 pages long. The illustrations are cute, but the plain, basic book is not worth $8. Returned it upon delivery.

Nice
I got the large hardback of this book and I just love it. It is one with the gears moving, and I think it is definitely a book worth having, but I am biased towards robots. It is a nice size, not a small board book, but larger. It is not a long book, its a couple pages, but its charm is the drawings and movable gears/parts.

Great little book with a nice message
I bought this book because it was recommended for an art project where students use foam shapes to create their own robots. This book fit perfectly because it talks about what a robot is made up of (2 legs, gears, etc.) but what is most important is what is inside (his heart). I loved the message of the book. The downside: the moving parts jam up a bit on my copy and the book is very short. The kids loved looking at and touching the book and since it is short, everyone got a turn to check it out. I'd say it is best for children PreK to Kinder. Both boys and girls enjoy this book. Check out the project I did with it at [...] and search on "robot"

What little there is of it is nice enough.
It's very short with only a few elements for your child to move, spin, or slide. My 8 month old son likes to play with the movable parts, but I was hoping for something more. The gears on one page work well, but on the other you have to turn 2 of the 3 gears for them to move. The story is very brief and to the effect of "It's what is on the inside that counts." A few more pages, a few more interactive elements, and little more story would make this book easy to recommend. As it is, you can do better at this price point with something else.

Very cute book
My daughter loves robots, and this is her new favorite book. With lots of moving parts, this is a high quality, sturdy board book that stands up to my three year olds abuse very well. Great pics and colors. I'm so glad I bought it for her.

Where are the moving parts?!
After reading so many great reviews on this book and how much fun children had with the moving robot parts on each page, I was sold. However, when I received the book I opened it up to discover the pages were flat with no moving parts at all. This was obviously the major draw to this book as it has minimal words on the pages and the book is quite short. Needles to say, without the moving parts this book is quite boring and I immediately sent it back.

Very nice robot book!
This was a gift for my two and a half year old grandson for Christmas. It is a very sturdy well made book with peek a boo flaps and other little interactive things on each page. The artwork is very cute and the book held his interest, he seemed to enjoy it.

No cumple mis expectativas. No es lo que yo buscaba. No tiene troquelado. Lo devolveré. Es un libro pequeño de cartón, sin más. ..

una gradevole opera di cartotecnica per bambini che amano i robot. Tra i pregi ci sono pagine cartonate, angoli smussati, parti movibili, testo semplice e un piccolo messaggio finale.

My daughter read it and said it was too short and boring.
