The Wild Robot: Volume 1

Product Information

I have never seen this book before! I know several kids who are OBSESSED with robots and would absolutely love this story as well as creating one out of recycled material. What a cute idea! Eventually, I switched from Scrivener to MS Word so my editor could easily comment on the manuscript And last, I will give you a small challenge: can you make the book The Wild Robot Three. Thanks!?I love the story but, my favorite part of the book is your lovely drawings. I can totally stare at those for hours. Actually my favorite thing to do in my spare time is drawing. It took eight years, but I finally found an answer to the question that led me down this path. What would an intelligent robot do in the wilderness? She’d make the wilderness her home.

Most people don’t know that the word “robot” comes from a 1920’s science fiction play by Karel Čapek. The play is called R.U.R., which stands for Rossum’s Universal Robots. Karel Čapek (with a little help from his brother) invented the word “robot.” But he also invented one of the most familiar tropes of science fiction. In R.U.R., robots realize they don’t need their human masters, so they rise up and destroy all of humanity. And sci-fi writers have been telling variations of that story ever since. As your class progress through the chapters, allow your children to hone in on the vocabulary used and explore the words and gain a deeper understanding. This is a brilliant resource that your children can use throughout the chapter to make notes. This ensures children are engaged and actively participating and reflecting on the story. I have just finished reading , ‘The Wild Robot Escapes’ for my grandson. He was reading his paper edition to me, before Covid hit. Roz could feel her Survival Instincts—the part of her computer brain that made her want to avoid danger and take care of herself so she could continue functioning properly. Her instincts were urging her to move away from the ocean. She carefully got to her feet and saw that high above the shore, the land was bursting with trees and grasses and flowers. It looked lush and safe up there. It looked like a much better place for our robot. She had just one problem. To get up there, she would have to climb the sea cliffs.I just book the two books for him for Christmas so we could read them again together & we’re enjoying them just as much.

I’ve read The Wild Robot to my third graders over the past couple of years and always we want more! Is there a plan for a third book? Dave dropped my sketches into place so we could get a sense of how the words and pictures would work together P.S. When I read the book to the students, of course, I have to read the characters with different “voices.” It makes it more fun for the students, but also for me. Chitchat’s voice is higher pitched & non-stop with hardly a breath taken. Dig Down’s voice is low, along with Mr. Beaver’s. Brightbill’s voice is full of wonder, curiosity, sometimes hesitance, sometimes sadness/troubled, sometimes confidence. Roz’s voice is flat & sounds more computerized, with less natural expression, until she starts to try to sound more friendly. (Students love that). He loved the book, and wanted me to ask what your plans were for “The Wild Robot 2”, since Roz’s story is clearly ongoing.I have been reading The Wild Robot and now The Wild Robot Escapes to my 2nd Graders for read aloud this year. This is just the book that we needed during this uncertain time! My students (as do I) absolutely LOVE your books – we also have a couple of your other fiction books as well in our classroom library!!! We are hoping that there will be a third book soon – and many of my students think that there should be a movie made of each of the books so far. We have been working on visualization and adding details to our writing, an my kids think that you are the best at this. They say that they can picture the story happening in their heads because of how descriptive your writing is – this is crossing over to their writing as well =). We even decorated our classroom door for Halloween with a Wild Robot theme. I used a program called Scrivener to write the story. It’s great for organizing notes and research and chapters. Hello Peter I am a 6th grade student and my ELA class is reading your book the Wild Robot and also doing a report on it. I would like to know if there will be a third book on the Wild Robot and how the movie is doing and how it will be.

Wall-E meets Hatchet in this #1 New York Times bestselling illustrated middle grade novel from Caldecott Honor winner Peter Brown Now there are several years of students who are waiting for the 3rd book & for the movie. Please let me know if you know the release date for the 3rd book. Also, I read that Dreamworks bought the movie rights, but have they started making the movie yet? I had mixed feelings when the ARCs arrived. It was exciting to see The Wild Robot in physical form, but I knew the finished book would be very different. Oh well. My publisher sent out the ARCs and responses started rolling in. The Wild Robot received its first official review in November 2015, two months before I finished working on it. Miraculously, it was a starred review. The Wild Robot was my favorite book at our recent book fair – I sold many, many copies to kids and adults alike. What I really love about this book is that a child could read it now and re-read it in a few years and get something completely different from it. I also love the questions it raises – what exactly is Artificial Intelligence? How can it be used ethically and judiciously? What if, what if what if??\Roz figures out how to survive. She's observant and studies animal behavior. She's kind and adopts and raises an orphaned gosling. Though the animals on the island are originally afraid of her and consider her a monster, she wins them over by helping them and being kind. Roz takes action to help the animals survive a brutal winter. croak, “Where are you? I can’t see you!” And then another would reply, “I’m over here! Follow my voice!” When Roz first stomped across the island, the animal squawks and growls and chirps had sounded like nothing more than meaningless noises. But she no longer heard animal noises. Now she heard animal words. Robots can take almost any shape and so I considered different designs and capabilities and purposes for Roz. She had to be strong and intelligent, but not too strong and not too intelligent. If readers were ever going to relate to a robot she would have to be vulnerable, not invincible. And it might help if she were humanoid—that is, if she had arms and legs and a head—so readers could imagine themselves in her shoes. Most important, she had to be able to learn. Hi! my name is George and I love your book The Wild Robot. I read it with my mom and my little brother. We have a question. Are you going to write a sequel for The Wild Robot? I look forward to hear from you. running. But the robot’s programming would not allow her to be violent. Clearly, Roz was not designed to fight bears. Powerful jaws chomped her arms. Sharp claws slashed her face. A massive head rammed her chest. “Please stay away!” said the robot. “Roarrrr!” said the sister bear. “Grrrrrr!” said the brother bear. And then the bears went in for the kill. But the robot had vanished.

I would name it the Wild Robot Finds Its Home. When the movie comes out, if you make one, I really like the wild robot I’m looking forward to reading the second book.

I can see how camouflage helps you survive; perhaps it could help me survive also.”
