Robots Can’t Dance! And Other Fun Facts is a fun little fact book talking about all things technology, robots, computers, cell phones, the internet, x-rays, and even historic inventions like the phonograph. The little bite-sized chunks of information paired with large pictures are perfect for introducing concepts for a younger age group. This book introduces so many different technologies in such a fun way.
Would have given 5 stars had there been some photos of these amazing technological advances! My husband is an electronics man, and he said this was highly accurate and well-written.
Great children’s book about robots! The information is very useful! Be sure to check it out from your local library or purchase it for your own use from amazon.com or your local book store!
