In this second title of the award-winning Mighty Moods series, children will laugh out loud at the robot’s antics and perhaps see themselves in Jamie’s need to have everything go “perfectly.” And grownups will appreciate the wink and nod to the fact that change can be hard for them too—and they might have robots of their own!

My Kid Review

Sometimes kiddos need everything to be the same – whether it be wearing the same clothes or using the same plate or a specific routine. That describes Jamie in Meredith Rusu’s book There’s a Robot in My Socks. The storyline is more of a message for adults than for kiddos – sometimes you need to let them have their routines if you want the day to go smoothly. It is apparent that Meredith Rusu understands this age group. 

I enjoyed the book and think that young children will enjoy it as well. 

The illustrations have a reddish tint to them. Martin Moron did an excellent job of complimenting the text. 

There’s a Robot in My Socks would make a great addition to the picture book section of a K-12 Christian school library. The book is appropriate for preschool and early elementary-aged children.

 I received a complimentary copy. This is my honest review.
