I liked it, but something was missing. It jumps right into the crash and doesn't seem to make much sense. The illustrations are nice.

I loved these two robots who crashed their spaceship and had to put it back together again with things that came from broken crayons. 

So unique and I really loved that it was female characters.

Awful. Except for the cool illustrations by Ohi.

This book shows that we can do hard things step by step. It shows that an attitude makes a big difference and to always give credit where credit is due. This fictional story was illustrated by Debbie Ridpath Ohi and was published in 2020. This book would be great for preschool or young fives to teach color and color associations. It would also be great for teaching students about mindsets and problem solving.

Funny book that showcases one robot that get overwhelmed by what seems an insurmountable task and is pessimistic and one that just does the next thing and finds a way.

The idea here is inventive, but the story itself is a little halting.
