Publisher Description
“A delightful sea-quel.” —Kirkus Reviews
The world’s cutest robot goes on a rhyming, deep-sea adventure with two new friends in this sweet and silly companion to Bitty Bot.
Fish and coral. Crabs and snails.
Stingrays, turtles, sharks, and whales.
Giant squid! A sunken ship!
“Now we’re talking. What a trip!”
Bitty Bot is back—and he is not excited about his family vacation to Botco Bay. Luckily, new friends make everything better. Bitty Bot and his new pals build a submarine using supplies they find at the beach:
Bottles, barrels, buggy, bench,
hammer, pliers, socket wrench,
soda cans, a coil of rope,
drainpipe for a periscope.
Off they go on an underwater adventure!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In his first outing, Bitty Bot was right in his element tinkering around with a spaceship and blasting off. But he's not happy being on the beach at Botco Bay. McCanna reprises his playful, punchy rhymes: "Sun's too hot and sand's too gritty. Let's go back to Robot City," Bitty laments. Then Bitty who has a head shaped like a tablet, long and stripy arms, and rolls on two big wheels meets two robots who are similarly unenthusiastic. They build a submarine from a hodgepodge of materials, including a bench, pliers, soda cans, and "a drainpipe for a periscope," and take it on an underwater adventure that leads them to a mermaid town. Carpenter fills his playful spreads with jewel tones and expressive robots with clanky, old-fashioned charisma. While most kids enjoy a day at the beach, McCanna offers a generally relatable message about how companionship in tandem with imagination can help make any day better. Ages 4 8.
