Product Information

I read this book over the summer, and knew I absolutely had to share it with my Grade 4 class. They were absolutely enthralled! Thank you for writing a book for middle schoolers that seems to recognize that they are intelligent, capable thinkers. We had so many fabulous discussions and are hoping for a sequel. This is a brilliant resource that your children can use throughout the chapter to make notes. This ensures children are engaged and actively participating and reflecting on the story.

Thank you – for sharing your time & talent & for the priceless time you allowed my son & I to have because of your story. Hello!

I read it with my mom and my little brother. We have a question. Are you going to write a sequel for The Wild Robot? I look forward to hear from you. Roz stumbled on until she found a patch of ground that was flat and open and carpeted with pine needles. It seemed like a safe place, and safety was all the robot really wanted, so she stood there, motionless, all perfect lines and angles set against the irregular shapes of the wilderness. Heard this yelled across our 5th grade classroom today from a reluctant reader to a friend, “This is SUCH a good book!!” Each group within your class will focus on word class in this activity. They must identify the different words used in Chapter 9. Your class will explore: Nouns, Adjectives, Verbs, Adverbs, Pronouns and Prepositions and will be able to refer to the table below explaining each word class.

I have never seen this book before! I know several kids who are OBSESSED with robots and would absolutely love this story as well as creating one out of recycled material. What a cute idea! It took eight years, but I finally found an answer to the question that led me down this path. What would an intelligent robot do in the wilderness? She’d make the wilderness her home. I really like your Wild Robot books. I was hoping for a fourth book. I would name it the Wild Robot Finds Its Home. When the movie comes out, if you make one, I used a program called Scrivener to write the story. It’s great for organizing notes and research and chapters. Evie is four, and she has been a robot named Roz for almost two months now. That’s a long time when you are four.

Dave dropped my sketches into place so we could get a sense of how the words and pictures would work together I find this book interesting when she learned to speak animal language. I can't wait to read the second book "The Wild Robot Escapes" ! I requested it on the libary........ :) After we finished the first, he said, “There has to be another book” and one day came bounding in the door with the sequel. found him. “You have taught me an important lesson. I can see how camouflage helps you survive; perhaps it could help me survive also.” I just wanted to post a note to say how deeply my students and I enjoy your Wild Robot books. Our favorite moments as a class are the ones we spend with Roz. Every day, at the end of read-aloud time, my students beg for more. Thank you so much for these beautiful stories and for bringing so much joy and magic to our classroom.

She is a learning robot who has no idea what her purpose is, apart from to survive. At first, the wild animals are terrified of Roz as she’s a huge and scary looking metal robot. But things begin to change when she adopts a newly hatched gosling (after she falls on his family and crushes them all to death), and learns to become a wonderful mother and friend. I really like the wild robot I’m looking forward to reading the second book. Me and my family have Lyme disease and that book has helped us along the way with my reading. We read The Wild Robot in class and it sounds like all those years paid off. We were really intrigued by this book. We are planning to buy and read the sequel. We liked all the action?? We all loved the book and thought it was awesome. The Illustrations were really nice. It was very emotional and this book was epic! We really like it. In 2012, after years of studying and thinking, I returned to the question that started this whole process: What would an intelligent robot do in the wilderness? To answer that question, I invented a robot character named Rozzum (a subtle nod to Čapek’s play), and tried to imagine how she’d handle life in the wilderness.

Roz is a futuristic robot that washes ashore on a deserted island. From there, a tale of survival and discovery begins. this is a wonderful work, thank you… that said I had to promise her that there was another book coming where she would learn of the robot’s fate and that of her family to stem the tide of tears. Most people don’t know that the word “robot” comes from a 1920’s science fiction play by Karel Čapek. The play is called R.U.R., which stands for Rossum’s Universal Robots. Karel Čapek (with a little help from his brother) invented the word “robot.” But he also invented one of the most familiar tropes of science fiction. In R.U.R., robots realize they don’t need their human masters, so they rise up and destroy all of humanity. And sci-fi writers have been telling variations of that story ever since. P.S. When I read the book to the students, of course, I have to read the characters with different “voices.” It makes it more fun for the students, but also for me. Chitchat’s voice is higher pitched & non-stop with hardly a breath taken. Dig Down’s voice is low, along with Mr. Beaver’s. Brightbill’s voice is full of wonder, curiosity, sometimes hesitance, sometimes sadness/troubled, sometimes confidence. Roz’s voice is flat & sounds more computerized, with less natural expression, until she starts to try to sound more friendly. (Students love that).
