Now available in a board book edition: An irresistible friendship story about a boy and a robot learning how to help each other.

The story of an irresistible friendship between a boy and a robot, now in board for little hands.
 
One day, a boy and a robot meet in the woods. They play. They have fun. But when Bot gets switched off, Boy thinks he’s sick! So Boy tucks the bot into bed and falls asleep. Bot is worried when he powers on and finds his friend powered off. He takes Boy home with him and tries all his remedies: oil, reading an instruction manual. Nothing revives the malfunctioning boy! Can the Inventor help fix him?
 
Using the perfect blend of sweetness and humor, this story of an adorable duo will win the hearts of the very youngest readers.

Praise for Boy and Bot

"The final, nearly wordless pages, with snapshots of the friends at play, are priceless." --Booklist, starred review

"Dyckman's debut offers pitch-perfect pacing and gentle humor.... as Boy and Bot would say, it's 'affirmative' that this book will be a hit." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review

"Dyckman's pared-down prose gives the role-reversal story just enough drama, humor, and robot-inflected dialogue...to keep children entertained for many re-readings." -- Publisher's Weekly, starred review

"It's a perfectly adorable, age-appropriate friendship. And it's simply impossible to imagine a 4-year-old boy not wanting to be friends with this book." -- The New York Times Book Review (online edition)
