Robot, Go Bot!

Reach for this book when you notice your child is struggling to share control during play or using a bossy tone with friends and siblings. This early reader addresses the common preschool and kindergarten challenge of understanding that friendship is a partnership, not a series of commands. It provides a non-judgmental way to discuss how bossiness can drive others away, making it a perfect tool for gentle behavioral redirection. In this story, a young girl builds a robot and begins barking orders, only to find that her new friend stops responding when the fun becomes one-sided. Through simple, comic-style dialogue and expressive illustrations, children ages 4 to 6 see a clear model of how to fix a mistake through a sincere apology and a change in attitude. It is an ideal choice for building emotional intelligence and basic literacy simultaneously.
