The Twelve Bots of Christmas
By Nathan Hale
Book Description
On the first night of Christmas, Robo-Santa gave to me,
A cartridge in a gear tree.
Take one robotic Santa, nine cyber-reindeer pulling his techno-sleigh, and twelve days of Christmas circuitry and wizardry-and this incredible holiday offering is guaranteed to add up to every gear-head's delight!A cartridge in a gear tree.
This unique spin on the familiar song just begs to be read aloud, as it retains the cadence and lyricism of the original. With two turbo doves and three wrench hens leading the way, young readers will be thrilled to join Robo-Santa on his annual round of gift giving. Nathan Hale has created a special delivery for all robot fans.
"Kids who like electronics, robots, tools and gears might prefer this version of the old song to the original with the partridge in a pear tree. There’s nothing sugary sweet about this 21st-century riff on an old Christmas chestnut."—Kirkus Reviews
"The brightly colored digital artwork pays subtle homage to everything from Star Wars to Dr. Who and rewards careful study with fun details. Will be appreciated by budding robot fans."—School Library Journal
"Imaginative. There's plenty of fun here for techies, gadget fanatics, and readers looking for a humorous new spin on a classic."—The Horn Book
