Our new favorite book
Here's the accompanying website: http://jmerton.blogspot.com/
This project is obviously right up our alley.
From the introduction:
Children love robots. Everyone seems to love robots. Well, perhaps not everyone would agree. Some people are actually quite afraid of them, or at least afraid of their potential.
I'm one of the afraid.
Are you afraid? - You should be.

Laundry Day
Finally.
A robot that can do housework, namely, folding the laundry, an always heinous task.
Be careful, though, lest it start folding YOU.
Thanks BoingBoing.

Is it any wonder we fear them?
Growing up with things like this, is it any wonder we fear the inevitable?

Introducing Your Kids to the Impending Robot Apocalypse
If there's one thing we get asked all the time, it's this: How do I let my children know about the numerous robot rebellions we're bound to endure in the future?
Well, friends, we finally have the perfect answer for you: Robot Zot.
From John Scieszca, the brain behind the Stinky Cheese Man and other classic picture books comes this tale of a young robot battling kitchen appliances. At last, a way to make world robot domination seem both inevitable and fun. Hooray!
