Howie ambles into robot club hoping to find a friend. But when Lincoln bounds into the room, Howie hides. The strange new bird is too big and fluffy. The teacher, however, puts the unlikely pair together. Will they be able to accept each other's wonky ideas and become friends?
For STEM classes, this story emphasizes the discussion of form v. function.
The story encourages divergent thinking as Lincoln and Howie design a robot. For kids who are rigid and inflexible, they'll see the value of considering different options, and accepting those who are different.
WHAT THEY ARE SAYING:
. . .offbeat and clever. . . With pages filled with animals and robots, this tale will certainly appeal to kids. . . . Kirkus Reviews
A delightful story of friendship and teamwork. Dori Hillestad Butler, Theodore Geisel Honor Award for King & Kayla and the Case of the Missing Dog Treats, and Edgar award for The Buddy Files: The Case of the Lost Boy
Charming. . .Pattison's storytelling skills give readers a look into the give-and-take of friendship. Carla Killough McClafferty, author of The Many Faces of George Washington
What's WONKY? The heart-warming story of an unlikely friendship between Robot Club partners, told in Darcy Pattison's classic, charming voice. WONKY is a good reminder that friendships are often found with a heart that's open to the unexpected. Lynn Rowe Reed, illustrator of Punctuation Takes a Vacation
WONKY is a delightful mixture of a story about new friends and a robot club--honestly, what could be more fun? I adored Howie and Lincoln, Darcy Pattison's endearing animal characters, and Nathaniel Gold's colorful illustrations just pop off the page! Monica Clark-Robinson, author of Let the Children March
