Summary
Rosenthal's delightful counting book follows the travails of a slightly clumsy robot who can't quite keep track of his own head, and the smart robot pals who help him find it. Each number is presented as a bold numeral, with a matching number of robots shown on the spread. The robots, though not human, are nevertheless full of charm - and their antics, captured perfectly in Marc Rosenthal's colourful, funny illustrations, are sure to crack up toddlers and preschool-age kids.
