Cog by Greg Van Eekhout
4.0
Cog is a machine built for cognitive development but he looks just like a person. Gina, his caregiver has slowly been teaching him things so he can be independent but Cog gets into an accident. This accident makes it so that he is sent back to the company who created him but they want to take something away from him. Will Cog be able to escape? Who will he meet along the way? What is this company hiding?
This book was such a cute read. I loved all the characters and how real they all felt to me. They all felt human to me rather than robots even car, proto, and trash bot. I wanted to hear more about their lives and couldn't put the book down. I wanted to live in this robot town that they were all from.
I love how Cog interacts with others and how he explains his purpose. I love how he finds he learns by making mistakes and assumes the bigger the mistake the more he'll learn.
I think this is a great book for children grades 2nd to 5th. I think they'll find great joy in the plot and some of the funny scenes that are included throughout. The lessons that are included are great for this age range and teach them that it's okay to be unique and stand out. It shows our differences make us human and those differences help us when working with others.
