Robot Rumpus!

Author: Sean TaylorIllustrator: Ross Collins

Getting ready for bed can be quite a tricky business, so wouldn’t it perfect if there was a robot to help you do each job? First Cook-bot will cook up a delicious dinner – spaghetti and meatballs is the specialty and Clean-bot will sort out the washing up while Wash-bot puts you in the bath. Dry-bot will get you dry and Dress-bot will get you in your pyjamas. There’s even Teeth-bot to brush your teeth for you. It sounds fantastic but when Wash-bot gets confused and causes a slippery accident it begins a whole chain of events and suddenly it’s ROBOT RUMPUS!

A snappy rhyme and short text give the fabulous illustrations plenty of room to shine in this hilarious picture book from Sean Taylor and Ross Collins. The scenes are crammed with extra jokes that will amuse children and adults alike and the spreads are large and bright helping younger children follow the story.
