Robobaby

　　★ 三屆凱迪克金獎得主大衛．威斯納（David Wiesner）最新作品
　　★ 大衛．威斯納創作之App「Spot」的延續故事，當機器人家庭遇到小寶寶，會有怎樣的混亂與歡樂？

　　對任何家庭來說，寶寶的到來都是非常重要的時刻——對機器人家庭來說也是。

　　但當嬰兒法蘭出現時，機器人父母Diode和Lugnut實在很頭大，他們試圖把法蘭拼裝起來，但不一會兒法蘭就分崩離析了。一堆熱心的鄰居還有電話線另一端的技術人員熱情提供指導，但場面卻越來越混亂，直到最後機器人家庭裡的小女兒Cathode出現，她憑著對機器人的知識與對IT的了解，成功地組裝了法蘭，還為他更新軟體，讓媽媽Diode不禁感動地說：你真是一個好姊姊！

　　三屆凱迪克金獎得主大衛．威斯納在〈A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Robobaby with David Wiesner〉訪談中表示，自己非常喜歡機器人，2015年推出App「Spot」時，也在其中加入了機器人元素，而他之後便一直思考這個機器人家庭，覺得他們有個故事可說，而這就是他寫作這本書的動機。

　　書中細膩的機器人組裝繪製場景，讓每一頁都能滿足科幻迷與DIY狂熱者的想像，此外這本繪本也提供讀者一些省思的角度：不要因為年紀而輕忽任何人，他們可能都是麻煩的救星！

In this hilarious gem from triple Caldecott winner David Wiesner, it’s big sister to the rescue when a new baby is delivered to a family of robots and the adults are flummoxed by technical difficulties.

A new baby’s arrival is a big moment in any family, even a family of robots. Award winner David Wiesner captures the excitement and fanfare when baby Flange appears--as a crate full of components. The adults bungle the process of assembling Flange, with catastrophic results. Big sister Cathy, with her handy toolbox and advanced knowledge of robotics and IT, hasn’t been allowed to help, but in the ensuing chaos she calmly clears up the technical difficulties and bonds with her new baby brother. A shout-out for girl scientists and makers, Robobaby is an eye-opening and engaging blend of the familiar and the fantastic.

David Wiesner is internationally renowned for his visual storytelling and has won the Caldecott Medal three times--for Tuesday, The Three Pigs, and Flotsam--the second person in history to do so. He has also received three Caldecott Honors, for Free Fall, Sector 7, and Mr. Wuffles. He lives near Philadelphia with his family. hmhbooks.com/wiesner.
