Meet the newest odd couple in the early reader section: fussy,
compulsive Rabbit and overly logical Robot. . . .Bell’s crisp,
cheery cartooning adds visual punctuation and elaboration in all
the right places, and she handles moments of both calamity and
reconciliation with aplomb. Delightful.
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
The light ridiculousness of a machine and animal hanging out
together provides plenty of yuks (Rabbit tops his pie with carrots
and lettuce; Robot prefers bolts and screws), and Bell breaks up
the easy-reading text with warm, goofy cartoon illustrations. Kids
will welcome these new besties to their early-reading rotation.
—Booklist
Make way for another endearing, odd-couple pair of friends in
beginning-reader land...A good choice for those ready to launch
into more advanced texts.
—Kirkus Reviews
Hilarious details such as Rabbit telling Robot to turn down his
Volume Knob anytime he yells, and the sight of Rabbit and Robot
both wearing Rabbit-shaped pajamas–Robot forgot his and had to
borrow a pair–will attract the adoration of early chapter-book
readers, who will undoubtedly hope for more from this duo
—School Library Journal
The large font, simple, short sentence structure, and numerous
attractive illustrations make this accessible for readers who are
beyond Willems’ Elephant and Piggie series but not quite ready for
lengthier chapter books. There’s plenty of humor, both in the text
and the crisp and simply composed digital illustration.
—Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
An engaging, well-paced story, told with simple (but not too
simple) vocabulary is tough to write, but Cece Bell has nailed
RABBIT AND ROBOT: THE SLEEPOVER. Let’s hope it’s the first of a
series.
