Looking for something to do with your young ones over the holidays? We recommend you pull out the Alottabotz books and read them with your child; rhyming stories help children build vocabulary and understanding. Quality time, literacy, and love of language: three of the greatest gifts you can give.

No matter what planet you're from, flowers are magical! Mombot likes flower arranging. What other hobbies do you think robots would enjoy?

Timbot takes the trolley to school where he has many friends—each one unique. One of his classmates, Pella, has trouble learning because she can't stay still. Some of the kids at school tease her and call her names. This really bothers Tim and he decides to step in. He turns to his family for help.

#Selfcare is really important! Even Timothy Bot and his dog have to recharge once in a while. What's your favourite way to re-energize yourself?

Alottabotz books are fun to explore. The bot planet is filled with robot life--not just the people, but the animals, too. Lynn's illustrations spark interesting imaginings; what will your young reader think about alien animals?

Lynn loves drawing complicated spaces! Check out Grandbot's workshop in the first Alottabotz Book, The Botshop. How many different kinds of tools and doodads can you spot?

Whoops! Looks like we have surprised this feathery fellow. If you were going to name this bird species, what would you call it?

Timbot loves the new puppy that his Grandbot built for him, but he can’t decide what to name him. When the dog runs off, Tim is unable to call him back since the dog doesn’t have a name. Tim tries to find his pet before he gets into trouble, but he’s too late. www.alottabotz.com

Timbot has the “Summer’s Over” blues. Do you have any advice to cheer him up?

For years, there have been no pets in Cyberland City. When Tim's grandbot makes him a mechanical dog, all the children in the town now want a pet, too. With the support of the local recycling depot, and some extra helping hands, Gramps creates mechanical pets for everyone. www.alottabotz.com
