The Wild Robot by Peter Brown
4.25
This was a very cute book about a robot being in the wilderness and finding not only herself but a place within the world. Even though this book was targeted to children/middle grade I feel like this very much has things for adults such as dealing with death, mortality, racism/prejudice, found family, adoption, global warming and other big topics that may not be in most children's literature.
Now, these topics might not be mentioned in long detail but they are sprinkled in throughout the story that it's enough to not make the story feel too "childish" and still offer nice little tidbits while you are reading.
The chapters are very short and it's an easy read, and I appreciate that the book and the movie are different enough that you do not feel like you are rehashing the same story over again while still delivering on the main plot.
I will say that I enjoyed the ending to the book much better to the ending of the movie. The artwork sprinkled throughout the chapters added to the cozy whimsy of the story and overall I think this was a very good little book.
