Winner of the 2020 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award for most distinguished American book for beginning readers.

In this very young picture book mystery, a little boy out for a walk with his family stops to show a building doorman his new "bot": "I have a bot!" Only he doesn't have it for long, because it floats up out of his hands like an escaped balloon. "Stop! Bot!" Springing to action, the kind doorman runs up to each floor of the building to try and catch it -- along with the help of each floor's resident. But while everything looks normal at first, every floor (and resident) is a little more wacky and unusual than the last! Musicians, baseball players, zoo animals, and finally a very large monkey all play a part -- but will they rescue the Bot before it's too late?! Children will love all the funny details and easy-to-read words in this very playful picture book!

Praise for Stop! Bot!

"Yang works within the constraints of the building's form to generate intriguing possibilities presented with clarity and wit." -- Publisher's Weekly


" A great choice for beginning readers. An unexpected rooftop surprise will leave youngsters with a happy resolution and smiles on their faces." --Booklist

Raves for Bus! Stop!:
* "Graphically inventive . . . Yang's stylized, offbeat characters and 'buses' give this story of transportation lost and found a quirky universality."--Publishers Weekly, starred review

* "Captivating . . . just the right ride for both prereaders and emerging readers." --Horn Book, starred review

"This ingenious book will call out to toddlers, but keep it around for early readers, too. The words are simple, and Yang's witty art is built to last." --The New York Times

"Weird and delightful . . . An imaginative, fun ode to bus travel and its many minor surprises."--Kirkus Reviews
