Description
Age range 3 to 6
One morning, poor robot wakes up to find he is missing an arm. They search inside the house and outside the house, but his arm is nowhere to be found. Can You Find My Robot's Arm? invites children to explore through the beautiful and deceptively simple images of Chihiro Takeuchi, where can the arm be, and what might make a suitable replacement?
All images are cut from paper by hand, adding a unique and artistic touch to the storytelling experience.
"Robots. Robo pets. Papercuts. Humour. Sorbet colour. All in one book? Heaven... Kids will love the silliness of the replacement-arm offerings in this book. They will also adore (along with adults) the paper-cut-style imagery with its super cool detail." - Kid's Book Review
