When Elsa moves to a new home and needs a new friend, she tinkers and tapes, pastes and paints to create the best friend ever. With her copycat cat by her side and a curious bird nearby, she creates a wonderful robot. Elsa tries to play her favorite games, hide and seek and baseball, but this Bot friend can't throw the ball back, is horrible at hiding, terrible at seeking, and absolutely awful at eating strawberry ice cream. The worst problem is he never smiles, no matter how hard Elsa and her cat try to make him laugh. How will Elsa make a real friend?
Through lively illustrations and humor, this story encourages children to overcome their fears, to be creative, and to celebrate their uniqueness. Children and adults can relate to Elsa's shyness and challenges in social situations. For children ages four to seven, this story is perfect for reading to kids before they start school, camp, a sports team, or any other new social activity.
Share this story and help children discover how special they are.
