8 Robot Story Books for Kids to Spark Imagination
Call them droids, androids, automatons, or bots, robots are often the center of the story and star of the show. Sometimes robots are so similar to us it’s uncanny, and sometimes they couldn’t be more different. Robots spark imagination in young minds, and robot stories for kids are as popular as ever.
Here we collect some of our favorite robot story books for kids. We’ve got a range of picture books, first readers, and chapter books about robots ready to go. Let’s explore!

“On the ground and in the air, robots, robots, everywhere!” These are the words that started our son’s fascinations with robots. One look around the house, and yes, they really are everywhere. (Especially one the floor. Late at night. The ones that hurt the most when stepped on.)
This is a cute and colorful book with an easy to read rhyme that kids love to follow along with. After enough times through, they’ll be able to say the words with you. (I confess, I’ve read this enough times to have it memorized.)
The last page features a robot tucked snuggly into bed, which make this a great book to wind down with at bedtime. We went through phase reading this to our youngest where he would say goodnight to the robot, then hop down and start toddling over to his bed. It was a cute routing and made transitioning to bedtime easy. (At least for a little while.)

This is a charming story about a young boy who happens upon a robot while playing. They become fast friends and enjoy having some adventures until the robot bumps his power switch and shuts down. Helping as best as he know how, he takes the robot home and tries to comfort him as he would another child, but nothing seems to help. He tucks the robot in and goes to bed.
When the robots power switch is bumped on during the night, the robot wakes to find the boy sleeping and unresponsive. The robot tries to help the boy as he best know how. He takes him home and tries oiling his joints and attempting to change his battery.
When the boy wakes up and they both realize the other is okay, they are delighted. We get a happy ending as the robot’s inventor returns the boy home. The Boy and Bot adventures resume the following day.
What struck us about this story is the compassion both the boy and robot showed. The parallels of how they used their own world view and tried to help each other in a time of need. They discovered what works for one may not directly apply to the other. The robot wasn’t sleeping, he was powered down. The boy didn’t need a new battery, he just needed some rest. We’re all a little bit different, but we can still be friends..
The illustrations are cute and suit the story, and the bright red robot stands out in most of the scenes. The play montages are fun, and the last page has a Calvin and Hobbes flavor as the boy and bot walk off into the sunset together. You just know there are more adventures ahead.

Pete the Cat wants to play, but all of his friends are too busy. Does Pete Cry? Goodness no! He decides to make a robot playmate instead. Pete’s new robot friend is good, though maybe a little too good. Pete gets more than he bargained for! The robot wears him out in catch, homes right in on him during hide and seek, and ruins some of Pete’s favorite activities.
Pete decides to turn things around and have the robot do the chores his friends had to do instead. Now that the robot is doing all the work, his friends are free to play. This is what Pete wanted in the first place. Everyone wins! (Well, except maybe the robot .)
This robot storybook is in the definitive Pete the Cat style, and shows us that we can use technology to innovate and solve problems. Sometimes things don’t turn out as we planned, and we need to reframe the problem to get the results we want. When Pete realized his robot didn’t make a good playmate, he shifted the focus and had the robot do chores so his friends could play instead.

This easy to read book hits it in the sweet spot on so many levels. The words are arranged in repeated patterns so it’s easy for kids to recognize “See Otto…” from page to page. After one read through at story time, our son could practically read the book back to us.
As we meet Otto, he is looking through a telescope missing his family and home. He builds a rocket jetpack and launches skyward.
As happens so often with experiments and DIY projects, things don’t always go as planned. As Otto’s rocket sputters and loses control, we have the opportunity to follow his trajectory in a fun and easy read along adventure. Until his rocket crashes and he realizes that this was home all along.
With a small pallet of words, Milgrim conveys a sense of longing and love, as well as some humor. We get the concept of “failure” in that Otto’s rocket doesn’t work and he comes crashing back to Earth. We also get the lesson to appreciate the things you already have, because sometimes that’s all you need.
Go, Otto, Go! Is a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Book. You can see more of New York Times bestselling author/illustrator David Milgrim in the Adventures of Otto series, or grab the Otto collection in this Collectors Set.

Ricky is a little mouse waiting for something BIG to happen. When he saves a giant Mighty Robot from an evil scientist, the robot becomes Ricky’s friend. The robot helps clean up around home and escorts Ricky to school and deters bullies. Life is good.
Except that the evil scientist creates a giant lizard to terrorize the city. Good thing Ricky and his Mighty Robot are ready to save the day!
This is a cool book that combines elements of storybook, comics, and animated flip book. The format changes flow well and move the story forward. The exposition happens in story book mode, with simple and easy to read pages. Action sequences switch to a comic book panel format which lends itself well to the pacing. The climactic battle features a “Flip-O-Rama” animated flip book style which enhances the action.
The artwork is sharp and colorful and adds to the fun quality of the book. Our kids enjoyed the giant robot and lizard monster and couldn’t wait to turn the pages (especially for the animated flip-o-rama.)

Ricky Ricotta’s Mighty Robot Book Set (7 Volumes)by Katie Van Camp and Lincoln Agnew
Harry is a boy with a wild imagination. With his stuffed companion Horsie, he embarks on exciting adventures throughout the Harry and Horsie series.
In Cookiebot! Harry wants a snack. When he realizes the cookie jar is, for some reason, all the way on the top of the refrigerator, he devises a plan. He builds a robot that can reach the cookies. What could possibly go wrong?
Once Cookiebot has a taste of cookies, he can’t get enough. After emptying the cookie jar, he heads out into the city for more! Harry and Horsie save the day, and topple the giant Cookiebot before he can do too much damage.
The art is top notch and the primary-only color scheme give the feel of old school Sunday comics. The last page is a treat to see Harry in a homemade robot suit siting in the middle of a toppled Lego brick city with a spilled cookie jar.
You can check out the original Harry and Horsie book as well. Harry and Horsie features some robot cameos in the background, though the main story focuses on how Harry heroically rescues Horsie from the moon.

Benjamin’s parents head out for the night and leave him in the care of his robot babysitter. Not happy with his 8:00 bedtime, Benjamin reprograms the robot for “fun.” Under the new programming, they play games, read books, have snacks, and have “fun” until Benjamin is tired and wants to go to bed. This goes against the robot’s new programming. The robot won’t let Benjamin go to bed and forces him to have fun. It builds more robots for more fun, and things get out of control. Check out the book to find how Benjamin get things back under control.
Books are fun. They never need batteries.
Benjamin McFadden and the Robot Babysitter has a Sorcerer’s Apprentice kind of feel where plans go awry and the struggle is to just get things back the way they were. The takeaway lessons are “be careful what you wish for” and there is “too much of a good thing.”
The artwork is wonderfully whimsical and worth paging through just to look at the pictures.
by Jon Scieszka and David Shannon
Robot Zot comes to Earth for conquest, and has an adventure in typical household. The diminutive conqueror battles his way through the kitchen defeating blenders and toaster, and works his way to blast the television. He finds love in a toy that appears in need of rescue, and his nemesis in the family dog.
Robot Zot makes an escape with his newly liberated love, and the poor family dog is left to answer for the mess.
We came for the story and stayed for the artwork. The story is cute, and the stylistic paintings are a joy.

In the year two thousand two hundred and twenty-second, the use of domestic robots became ubiquitous. Caterino was one such robot. Excellent electronic robot, he lived and worked in the family of Professor Isidoro Corti, lecturer in history at the University of Rome. Caterino knew how to cook, wash and iron linen, clean rooms and kitchen. He himself went to shopping, kept a notebook of expenses, turned on and off the TV, printed on professor's typewriter, cut the pages of new books with a bookmark knife, drove a car and in the evenings told his family all the gossip of the neighbors. In a word, he was a perfect machine. And, like all mechanisms, I did not test sleep needs. At night, when the Corti family rested, Caterino, so as not to bored from idleness, once again ironed the professor's trousers, knitted a sweater for Signora Corti, made toys for children and repainted white chairs. Having finished his business, he sat down at the kitchen table and solved the next problem. crossword. It took him quite a long time to do this.
One night, when Caterino painfully remembered the name of the river from fifteen letters, he heard a low whistle. He had heard these before. strange pleasant sounds that broke the silence of the night and came from the next room where Professor Isidoro slept. But this time they called him unusual thoughts. "And why, in fact, do people sleep? And what do they experience?"
Caterino got up from the table and tiptoed to the nursery.
There were two children, Rolando and Lucilla, they always slept with the doors to be closer to parents at night. On the table next to the bed the blue light was on. Caterino looked at the faces of the sleeping children for a long time. Rolando slept peacefully, and a slight smile played on Lucilla's face. "She smiles! Caterino was surprised. “Probably sees something pleasant in a dream. But what can be seen with closed eyes?
The robot returned to the living room and thought. "I'll try and sleep," - he finally decided.
Robots have been around for centuries, but none of them have ever been came up with such a bold idea.
"What, in fact, prevents me from trying today? No, this minute?"
So he did. "Good night, Caterino," he said to himself. "Pleasant dreams to you," he added, remembering that Signora Louise said to the children every evening as she put them to bed.
Caterino noticed that, when going to bed, the hosts closed their eyes. He tried to follow their example, but, alas, his eyes did not close day or night - he had no eyelids. Caterino got up found a sheet of cardboard, cut out two circles, attached them above the eyes and collapsed in the chair again. However, sleep did not come, but to lie with closed eyes were very tiring. Besides, he didn't see anything. such that would make him smile - only darkness, and nothing more. This irritated him.
The night passed in futile attempts to sleep. But Caterino did not lose heart and, when in the morning he went to wake up with the constant cup of coffee on the tray owner, decided to increase surveillance. That day, for example, he noticed that immediately after the meal, the professor sat comfortably in an armchair with a newspaper in his hands. For a minute he absentmindedly turned over the pages, but then his eyelids closed, the newspaper fell to the floor, and Caterino heard the sweet sounds again.
"That's right, this is a night song," thought the robot. He could hardly wait for the night and as soon as everyone had settled down, he sat down in an armchair and began to read the newspaper. He read it from the first to the last line, including advertisements, but sleep is not came. Then he began to count periods and commas on every page, then all the words that start with the letter "a", but that didn't help either.
Materino did not give up and continued to watch his masters closely. One day at dinner he heard Signora Louise say to her husband:
— I couldn't sleep last night. I had to count sheep. You know, how much did i count? One thousand five hundred and twenty eight. And yet without sleeping pills did not work.
Caterino pondered for two days what this could mean, and finally turned to Rolando. Asking him a question, Caterino experienced a burning feeling shame. It seemed to him that he wanted to find out from an innocent boy hidden secret.
— Why do you count sheep when you want to fall asleep? And how is it done?
- Very simple. Close your eyes and imagine that you have sheep in front of you - replied Rolando, unaware that he was betraying the human race. - Then imagine a fence and imagine that a sheep has to jump over it. Well, and then start counting - one, two, three, and so on until you fall asleep. I don't never managed to count more than thirty sheep. And Lucilla once I counted forty-two. But that's what she says, I don't really believe her.
With such an exciting secret, Caterino could hardly resist you can’t immediately run off to the bathroom and start counting sheep there. At last it has come night, and Caterino was able to embark on a daring experiment. He sat comfortably in armchair, covered his eyes with a newspaper and tried to see the sheep. First he saw just a white cloud with blurry edges. Then the cloud began to take on more clear forms, something very reminiscent of a sheep's head appeared. Because the cloud grew legs, a tail, and it turned into a real sheep. Worse there was a fence. Caterino had never been to the village and imagine what a fence is. Then he decided to replace the fence with a chair and, imagining a white kitchen chair in front of him, made the sheep come up to him.
- Jump! he ordered.
The sheep obediently jumped over the chair and disappeared. Caterino instantly tried to imagine a second sheep, but as it materialized from foggy cloud, ran away chair. I had to start over. When did he returned the chair to its place, the sheep did not want to jump over it.
Caterino glanced at his watch and saw with horror that the reconstruction of everything two sheep took four hours. He jumped up and rushed to the kitchen for another to iron Professor Corti's trousers forgotten on the chair.
"Well, well," he consoled himself, "I made one sheep jump. Not give up, Caterino, do not lose faith in success. Tomorrow there will be two sheep the day after tomorrow three, and in the end you will win."
I won’t bore you with the story of how much effort Caterino had to put into this sheep fighting. But after three months he counted a hundred sheep jumping through a chair. He did not see the hundred and first sheep, because he fell asleep in a sweet dream. He slept for only a few minutes, but the fact that it finally happened, there was no doubt. This was irrefutably evidenced by the arrows of the hand hours. At the end of the week, the robot had already slept for three hours! And he dreamed for the first time dream: Caterino dreamed that Professor Isidoro Corti was cleaning his shoes and tying a tie. Wonderful, wonderful dream!
It's time to tell that on the other side of the street lived a respected Professor Tibolla. One night he woke up with an unbearable thirst and went to the kitchen for a glass of cold water. before laying down again bed, he glanced out of habit out of the living room window. And in the living room window Professor Tibolla was reflected in the living room of Professor Corti - the windows were against. What did the astonished Professor Tibolla see? IN the living room of his colleague was lit with a light on, and the robot Caterino slept innocently baby. As he listened, Tibolla heard a slight whistle coming from living room of Professor Corti. So, to top it all off, this robot is snoring. in a dream?!
Professor Tibolla opened the window and, as he was in pajamas, without fear colds, leaned out and shouted with all his might:
- Alert! Anxiety! Anxiety!
In a few minutes the whole street woke up, and in every house with a crash windows and doors swung open. People in nightgowns ran out onto the balconies and pajamas. Some, learning what had happened, went out into the street and crowded around home of Professor Isidoro Corti.
Awakened by loud screams, the professor and his wife ran to the window.
— What happened? Earthquake? they asked fearfully.
Much worse! shouted Professor Tibolla. - You sleep on dynamite, dear colleague!
"You see, I'm in ancient history," said Professor Corti. - And in ancient times, as you know, dynamite did not exist. It has been invented by many Later.
"We are quiet, peaceful people," signora Louise added timidly. - And no one interfere. True, Rolando smashed the neighbors' glass yesterday with a soccer ball, but because we agreed to pay damages. I don't understand what...
"You'd better go to the living room," Professor Tibolla interrupted her.
Signor Isidoro and Signora Luiza looked at each other in bewilderment and unanimously decided that they had no choice but to follow the strange advice. And they went to the living room.
All this time Caterino slept soundly. Played on his metal face slight smile. He snored, but so musically and rhythmically that he whistling and buzzing could be safely compared with playing the violin or cello. Professor Corti and his wife stared in horror at the sleeping robot.
- Caterino! cried Signora Louise with tears in her voice.
- Caterino! shouted Professor Corti much more sternly.
From the street Professor Tibolla barked like a policeman:
- We need a hammer here! Take a hammer, my friend, and hit hard him on the head. And if that doesn't help, run a current through it.
The professor found a hammer in the kitchen and brought it over the robot's head.
- Be careful! Signora Louise pleaded. - Do you know what time it is? cost us. After all, we still have not made the last installment.
Everywhere - on the street, on the balconies, in the windows - people held their breath. Into the night In the silence, the blows of the hammer sounded like the blows of fate knocking on the door. Boom Boom Boom!
Finally Caterino yawned, stretched, rubbed his hand. From all observers points came a friendly "Ah!". Caterino jumped up and at the same moment realized that besides Professor Corti, almost half the city was watching him awakening.
- I was sleeping? - he asked.
Oh horror! This brat still dares to ask such a question!
At the same moment, a siren was heard. Police Alert zealous parishioner from the house opposite, rushed to make her contribution to the solution of the problem. It turned out to be very simple and unambiguous: Caterino was handcuffed with steel, loaded into a van and taken to court. The sleepy judge sentenced the poor man to two weeks in prison.
The judge was a cunning and experienced man. He advised the police not to tell bad stories. That's why the next day no newspaper did not inform its readers about the crime of the robot. However, behind the scenes the awakening of Caterino was observed not only by people, but also by numerous home robots. Closest to the scene was Teresio, a robot Professor Tibolla. He prudently did not interfere in a lively conversation. his master with Professor Corti, but, standing at the kitchen window, greedily caught every word. And in the neighboring houses, the robots pricked up their ears. Moreover, in Thursday, when the robots are free from work and gather in the city park, Teresio told his friends in detail about the incredible event.
- Believe me, Caterino slept exactly like people. No, even prettier. He did not snore like many of them, but made wonderful, musical sounds. This was a real electronic symphony!
Robots listened to his story with great excitement. In their metal heads endowed with an electronic brain, like a discharge of a current of three thousand volt, the thought flashed: "But we can fall asleep." The main thing is to understand system of preparation and recreation of sleep. But so far I only knew about it Caterino, and he, alas, was in prison. So, wait until Caterino comes out out of captivity and tell them a secret? No, that would be unworthy of robots with perfect electronic brain.
Teresio found the way out. He knew that Caterino was especially friendly with children. Professor Corti. Little Rolando, whose trust Teresio won not without chewing gum, told him that, apparently, Caterino had succeeded count the sheep jumping over the fence.
The same night, Teresio tried to repeat Caterino's experiment and, imagine, immediately achieved success. However, this is nothing surprising, because the biggest difficulties usually fall to the share of discoverer, and the rest are already on the beaten track.
Three nights later, the inhabitants of the city were awakened by unusual music: thousands robots sitting in armchairs, on marble kitchen tables, on balconies among pots of geraniums, on carpets, slept and at the same time very whistling melodiously in their sleep. The police went crazy from the incessant phone calls. calls. But she couldn't arrest all the robots of Rome! And yes, prisons there are no such sizes in the city.
The judge who sentenced Caterino to two weeks in prison, speaking on television, invited the authorities to negotiate with the robots. Actually, The authorities had no other choice. After all, do not actually enter night duty of police and firefighters armed with hammers! But only so it was possible to prevent the robots from falling asleep. But because of the roar of hammers themselves people couldn't close their eyes!
The authorities of Rome had to make an agreement with the robots. After Rome it was the turn of Milan, Turin, Marseille, London and Timbuktu.
When Caterino came out of prison, he was greeted by tens, no, hundreds of thousands robots. They shouted: "Hurray to our glorious Caterino!" and loud applauded. And Vibialdi, the home robot of the conductor of the tram orchestra, composed a beautiful hymn on such a solemn occasion:
Caterino is super smart, Invented a wonderful dream.
Every robot will know
How pleasant it is to sleep at night.
With the singing of the national anthem and with friendly cries of "Evviva!" robots passed through the ancient the streets of Rome. And, I must say, the gentle Romans, forgetting about their annoyance, clapped their hands together.
However, if there is anything sacred and inviolable in Rome, so this is a dream. The Romans love to sleep at night, they love to sleep during the day, but they especially love sleep after dinner. One very respectable scholar, having analyzed the history of Caterino, set forth his conclusions on two thousand four hundred pages, moreover, his plump work was richly illustrated with color photographs.
A worthy crowning achievement of his profound research was the following passage, concluding this outstanding creation of scientific thought:
"Only in Rome, in the brain of an electronic robot, could the idea of the invention of sleep. In no other city in the world is there and could not be so favorable conditions for such an original discovery.

Fairy tale rescue robot |
Author: Lyubov Bobrova
My little friend, sit back, I'll tell you a fairy tale, but it is not like other fairy tales. Here listen! When it was winter outside and it was very cold, the boy, his name was Misha, did not go for a walk. He sat in his room and played with toys. He was bored. He decided to make himself a robot that could walk, talk and transform like a transformer. This undertaking was not an easy one. It took a lot of time. The day came when the robot was ready. He said to Misha: "Good morning Misha." Misha was happy, his robot walked around the room around the room, answered the questions that Misha asked him. The boy was pleased that he had a robot, he called him Robert. Robert performed his tasks: he swept the floor, folded houses from the designer, danced, sang and even painted. Misha had fun with him.
One day Misha left for school and forgot to close the door. The robot went to another room and then went outside. It was noisy outside. Cars were honking, people were walking back and forth. Robert was frightened at first and stopped. And then he walked down the street. He walked and walked, but he did not know where. Suddenly he heard a scream. The robot turned and saw a pond. He went to the pond and saw that a little girl was drowning, people were standing around and no one dared to jump into the water to save the girl. The robot quickly folded into a boat and plopped into the water and swam towards the girl. The girl was saved. When she remained on the shore, people surrounded her, began to calm her down, and no one paid attention to the robot. He went on. When people remembered him, he was no longer around.
The robot has already gone far. He walked without knowing where. Suddenly he heard a kitten meowing. Robert looked around and saw no one, raised his head up and saw a kitten on a tree. The kitten was sitting so high that he was afraid to go down to the ground. Then the robot stretched out and took out the kitten.
The satisfied kitten began to purr and lick the rescuer, that is, to thank him. He was very surprised that his rescuer was so cold, because he was made of iron. Robert himself did not know why, but he was pleased when the kitten licked him. He put him on the bench, and he went on.
When Misha returned home, he found that the robot was not at home. The boy began to cry, but as they say, tears cannot help grief, he began to think where to look for him. He realized that the robot had gone outside, only a dog could find it. Wasting no time, Misha ran to his friend Gosha. The boy told him everything. Gosha took his dog by the leash and they went outside. The dog immediately took the trail and ran, the children rushed after her, barely in time.
Meanwhile, the robot approached the house where the apartment on the eighth floor was on fire. The woman stood at the window and called for help. The robot quickly folded into the stairs and helped the woman down. When the woman was rescued, fire engines arrived and began to put out the fire. Robert wanted to go further, but Misha and Gosha saw him. Misha was very happy when he saw the robot safe and sound, and they all went home together. Her dog's name was Rex, she got a meat bone, but she found a robot. Robert himself was glad to be home again.
The next day, an article was printed in the local newspaper that the robot had saved a girl who was drowning in a pond and a woman who almost died in a burning apartment.
