"The Problem: Harry and Horsie want cookies, but the jar is way out of reach.The Solution: Build CookieBot - the most amazing cookie-grabbing robot ever!
What could go wrong?" (inside jacket cover)
To otherwise summarize this book, I would suggest thinking Frankenstein + King Kong, but over cookies instead of Fay Wray.
The illustrations of this book were probably the best part. It is very graphic novel/comic book-esque (it reminded me personally of Calvin and Hobbes). The pictures alone (as if the subject of cookies wasn't enough) should draw in reluctant young readers.
I can't really explain why, but I did not personally care for the telling of the story (I did enjoy the ending), though I can see boys (again, especially the reluctant readers) enjoying this book.
Amazon recommends this book for ages 3 and up.
My rating:
.5
(I should probably get a half-crown picture)
Random Note: Other than the illustrations, my favorite part of the book was the "SUGAR CRASH!" (second to last page)
