Robot Dreams by Sarah Varon
Robot Dreams by Sarah VaronFirst Second, 2007
205 pages
Ages 8 years and up

What could possibly be more fun than having a best friend?  Nothing at all!  That’s what Dog thought, too, as he waited patiently one August day for the mailman to deliver just such a treat.  When he finally received his package, he quickly assembled his new best friend.  How do you assemble a best friend?  Why, you simply hook all the little pieces together, glue the arms and legs on and there you have it!  A best friend—if your best friend is a robot, that is.  But you have to be careful with a robot best friend.  Things can happen, such as rusting after a day of swimming and frolicking in the ocean, which is just what happened to Dog’s robot friend. Dog, not knowing what to do to help his friend, sadly walks away, leaving him to rust on the beach all alone.  When Dog goes back, armed with a Robot Repair Manual, he finds that the beach is closed.  What a sad day for Dog.  Probably even sadder still for robot, as all he can do is lie on the sand daydreaming about rescue and his best friend.  If you think all is lost for Dog and Robot, don’t you worry because life has a way of keeping connected those who are meant to be together.
