The Robots Are Coming: And Other Problems

Incredible, edgy, intelligent, manic...No wonder the Bushies are all in a panic.Sure there are things cautious parents must edit,But they should be giving their kids much more credit!This book has endless humor for the reader as well as the audience, and it encourages creative reading. One of its points is that you make your own fears through your imagination (cautious parents, take note). The book also diffuses the impact of traditional monsters by making them look silly. My daughter and I get many laughs from this, and I can't wait for more from Agent Rash.

This book is funny, and well drawn, and full of surprises, and it works on a few levels at once. I like the slightly edgy feel of the work, but I'm a slightly edgy ex-kid. I don't see why the sugary books should get all the glory... why not try a book that presumes you're intelligent AND like a good laugh?More like this, please.

The Robots are Coming was a Christmas present for my 4-year-old son and even in June it is still such a favorite I had to write a review. We love it. The poetry is catchy and just slightly subversive so as to be hysterical. It holds up fabulously well reading after reading after reading. The illustrations are wonderful and match perfectly. Whoever didn't like this book either didn't get the humor or maybe has a bad relationship with the author! My 4-year-old doesn't understand all the text, and neither does his 3-year-old brother, but they both adore the book. It makes an excellent gift for just about any age.

This is a great book! Original styles of writing, rhyming and artwork are blended together masterfully. The illustrations themselves are so full of detail that they could tell their own story. Each time I read and look through this book, I catch another joke. I can't wait for the next one!

This is a beautifully illustrated, funny book. Rash's art is colorful and inventive, and the accompanying "problems" are clever and intelligent. This a book for both children and adults to read and enjoy together!
