PRAISE FOR FACTS VS. OPINIONS VS. ROBOTS
    * “Charismatic robots populate this primer for kids growing up in an era when facts are considered debatable and opinions are oft expressed loudly and without empathy . . . Vital information for young media consumers; it couldn't be timelier.” —Kirkus STAR
     “What a good idea! Show little ones how to tell facts from opinions—and do it with robots . . . The engaging robots, the simple text, the clean, crisp pages, and, of course, the question-and-answer format that gives young ones the chance to think and decide for themselves . . . Parents, teachers, and librarians will find lots of uses for this.” —Booklist
     "Rex and his robots ultimately make a fun, cogent argument for informed and civil conversation . . . These robots could teach grown-ups a thing or two.” —PW
     “A must-buy.” —SLJ

PRAISE FOR WANTS VS. NEEDS VS. ROBOTS
     “[Uses] humor and easy-to-understand language to explain trading objects that are needed to survive versus those that are wanted to look “awesome.” . . . A unique and comic take on a relatable lesson for primary students and would make excellent supplemental material for elementary instructors looking to teach or reinforce the difference of necessity and convenience. . . . The most valuable lesson in this entertaining picture book is about the importance of making good choices and helping others, a moral delivered painlessly and with loads of good humor.” —SLJ
     “While it's partly for fun, it also functions to warn against the hazards of trading off one tool for another, and to introduce the idea of negotiating fair bargains or exchanges. . . . Food for thought—and not just for the kids.” —Booklist
