Beschreibung des Verlags
From the minds of Scieszka and Shannon comes a tale of a quixotic robot determined to conquer the earth. The only problem is that the earth he lands on is a suburban kitchen and he is three inches tall. Robot Zot, the fearless and unstoppable warrior, leaves a trail of destruction as he encounters blenders, toasters, and televisions. But when he discovers the princess...a pink cell phone...his mission takes a new course. Robot Zot must learn how to be a hero - in the name of true love.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Scieszka and Shannon take a detour from their Trucktown series to pay homage to another object of childhood fascination. Robot Zot, a malevolent red contraption, crash lands "into the heart of the dangerous Earth Army" (a backyard) and makes his way into a fully equipped kitchen. There, it's revealed that Zot is about the size of an iPod. After fending off "attacks" from a toaster and a television, Zot faces his toughest challenge yet: rescuing the amazing "Queen of all Earth" (an attractive toy cellphone). He and his sidekick (a cross between a snail and a conquistador's helmet one of a few references to the Quixotic nature of Zot's mission) save the queen and escape while a bewildered homeowner surveys the aftermath and blames his dog. Scieszka laces his action-filled narrative with rhymes and repetitive robot phrases ("Robot Zot never fall./ Robot Zot conquers all!"). Shannon's acrylic artwork offers bright colors and plenty of humor (a slightly anthropomorphized blender's white buttons fall out like teeth under Zot's attack). This comically self-deluded protagonist proves that fierce warriors of any size can still be brought to their knees by love. Ages 3 7.
