Reviewed by Khim Teoh for Readers' Favorite

"At the Robot Zoo" is a very unique children's book that narrates from the perspective of a childlike robot. The characters in this book are beautifully illustrated and emotions are injected into these robotic animals. The story is presented in rhymes with humor sprinkled throughout the pages.

I liked the vibrant colors used on the illustrations. It really brought the animals to life. Every page was like a happy nursery rhyme. It would have been good to keep a certain format like four lines so that it had more consistency in the pacing. Children could even put their own tune to it or recite it. I think it is a a very creative book and would stimulate any child's imagination. It would have been nice to assign names to these animals. Since this is a book a child would want to read over and over again, it might be a good idea to create some dialogue between the main character and the animals in a robot language perhaps. This can be conveyed through the illustrations. Children like to mimic or animate characters in books. This would give them a chance to really enact the scene and perhaps launch new robot animals in their imagination. I could see the readers drawing their own robot animals. I liked the font used, it is very futuristic. The ending could be punched up more perhaps indicating why the robot animals are like the main character.
