Welcome to Litsy!

3 ⭐ This book is an allegory for nap time. Harper is a little robot that is grouchy and causing problems. They need to recharge. Everyone knows they need to recharge except for Harper themselves. Harper refuses to recharge until they absolutely can‘t do anymore. And then realize that once they recharge, they feel completely better. This book is fine. The illustrations are quite fun. In fact, the illustrations are better than the story.

Been a bit of a book hummingbird today, reading single chapters from a lot of different books, so only managed to finish picture books this evening. My favourite of the above is definitely Time to Recharge, Harper! Between this and A Robot in the Garden, I'm thinking robot as metaphor for young child is a subgenre! (PSA: Emotional Robots not for kids!); How to Make a Friend has evil robot 😔; Robot Zombie Frankenstein very simplistic.
