Fillmore and Geary Take Off!

A parent might reach for this book when their child feels like they don't quite fit in or is trying to change themselves to be like everyone else. The story is a whimsical sci-fi adventure about a boy, Fillmore, and his robot friend, Geary, who travel across the galaxy trying to teach their robotic dog, Sbot, how to act like a 'real' dog. On each planet, Sbot tries to mimic the local dogs, but his unique robotic abilities always emerge. This humorous journey gently explores themes of identity, friendship, and self-acceptance. It’s an ideal choice for early readers aged 6 to 8, using a fun, imaginative setting to deliver a powerful message: being yourself is the best way to be.
