I like a challenge, so I was drawn to how this concept picture book tackles a challenging topic, making it fun and accessible. While colorful robots dance and bicker, the text asks readers to evaluate statements to determine if they’re facts or opinions. Readers learn to question information and to respect the opinions of others, skills many adults haven’t mastered. The best thing about this book is that it fosters critical thinking.

From Linda's list on robots for little kids with big-tech taste.

Critical thinking begins with facts. But what’s a fact? That question often seems harder to answer these days. Author/illustrator Michael Rex uses robots to help kids understand the difference between facts and opinions. Because robots are fun! (That’s an opinion.) Some of the robots in the book have square heads. (That’s a fact.) Highly recommended.

From Joyce's list on to improve kids’ critical thinking.
