The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
4.0
I liked this ... really, as an adult, more of a 3* personally, but I think this would be good/enjoyed by the younger audience it's aimed at. I hadn't realized it was the start of a series when I picked it up, and didn't love the unresolved ending. I'm not planning on continuing on though, I just have too many books on my TBR.
Super short chapters. 3rd person, past tense. I went primarily with the audio, which was fine, but I had the Kindle copy too. I enjoyed flipping through it afterward, remembering the storyline, seeing the illustrations.
I could see how this could have some topics for discussion ... how Roz learns from the animals, and adapts. The idea of fear (how all the animals were afraid at the start), language, of love, of family/motherhood, of helping others.
I've seen some of the previews for the movie - there's a note from the author just giving a heads up at the difference in illustration from the book to the movie. They are distinct styles.
