Review
This Level 2 Reader is all about robots. There is a table of contents at the beginning to give a glimpse into the different types of robots discussed as well as a glossary of terms at the back of the book explaining a variety of words used. But what really makes this book a great choice for libraries and schools is the book’s format. Each section of the book has large text and plenty of colorful photos to really give the reader an idea of what the robots being talked about look like. Another great feature is the “new word” bubble. These bubbles give the pronunciation of a word and the definition so young readers can learn this as soon as they see the word and not have to wait or take the time to look it up elsewhere. The only thing that would have improved the book would have been a paragraph mentioning the need to use robots ethically and to keep that in mind when developing them.
Overall Book Score: very good
