Synopsis
Some kids are too smart for their own good...and maybe for everybody else's good. When an overly ambitious little girl builds a humongous robot for her science fair, she fully expects to win first place. What she doesn't expect is the chaos that follows.
Mac Barnett, an emerging picture book author, and Dan Santat, illustrator of Rhea Perlman's Otto Undercover series, combine forces to create a hilarious kid's eye account of girl versus machine...and girl versus nature...and probably girl versus herself.
The Washington Post - Kristi Jemtegaard
Filled with sly visual jokes and oddball details, this hilarious sendup of an often painful rite of passage for parents and kids alike is falling-down funny.
