Sprocket and the Sparrow
(As Free as a Bird)
Publisher Description
Sprocket (Robot Thirty-Seven) loves his work and he takes great pride in packing tin cans neatly into wooden crates. One day Sprocket catches a fleeting glance of a sparrow, perching outside on the factory windowsill, and he becomes entranced by the natural beauty of the tiny creature. He tries to share his newfound excitement of the sparrow discovery with his fellow robotic co-workers but to no avail. Sprocket remains fascinated with his chance glimpse of the sparrow and decides to escape from Mr. Rivet’s tin can factory to try and trace the small free bird. His adventures lead him to the adjacent woodland where he makes a terrible discovery that could change his life, the sparrow’s home and the entire future of Mr. Rivet’s tin can factory.
Will Sprocket save the day?
