Robot Burp Head Smartypants! by Annette Simon - OPTIONAL

Simon,  Annette  Robot Burp Head Smartypants!  Candlewick Press, 2014.  PICTURE BOOK $16.99  Content: G.  

Two robots can’t stop burping while they are trying to talk, count and say their letters. They believe a screw may be loose and that is what is causing them to burp.  They say stuff like “Brr 1-2-3-rrp” or try to say a word “Affirma-burp-irmative”.  

This picture book has bright colored robots that are adorable, but the lack of a story line makes it difficult to understand.  The words and numbers being interrupted by burps is confusing and makes reviewing numbers or letters very confusing.  The bright robots drew my boys attention but they didn’t maintain interest when the words of the story didn’t make sense.  

EL (K-3)-OPTIONAL.  Reviewer, C. Peterson
