From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
K-Gr 3–In Hale's steampunkish version of the famous song, Robo-Santa is a jolly old bot, shaped a bit like an old-fashioned fire hydrant. His gifts, ranging from “a Cartridge in a Gear Tree” to “Twelve Beat Bots thumping,” are definitely more interesting to modern kids than partridges and drummers, while five golden rings have been replaced by “five BOT-TO-RIES” (definitely more useful to and coveted by the electronic crowd). The brightly colored digital artwork pays subtle homage to everything from Star Wars to Dr. Who and rewards careful study with fun details. Not a necessary purchase, but one that will be appreciated by budding robot fans.Mara Alpert, Los Angeles Public Library

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
A hilarious twist on The Twelve Days of Christmas, with truly creative robots brought to you by that jolly old, er, construct: Robo-Santa! The text is delightful enough, but Hale's illustrations are fantastic. The colors glow, and you could stare for hours at each intricate picture. My five-year-old son loves this book! (But that's no surprise: we're huge fans of Nathan Hale's other books: Yellowbelly and Plum Go To School and The Devil You Know!) A truly great addition to your Christmas book collection!
