The Wild Robot by Peter Brown




We read this book as a read aloud. All 5 of my children aged 12, 11, 9, 7 and 4 listened.


The book is recommended for ages 8-12 years but as I said all of mine listened and really enjoyed it. As an adult I would look forward to our daily read aloud sessions.

It is heartwarming, exciting and fun; themes such as friendship, helping others and survival make it engaging for all.



This is a survival story essentially about Roz the robot who is stranded on a wild island after the boat that is carrying a cargo of robot is destroyed in a storm. All of the robot are destroyed except for Roz, who is accidentally activated and then has to learn to survive on the island.

Her journey captivates the reader as she has to learn to makes friends with the animals on the island and how to survive. The twist at the end of the book left my children asking for me to buy the next book; The Wild Robot Escapes. We are looking forward to it.

I would highly recommend this book.
