10 Robot Books for Kids to Enjoy

Shared by Mary Catherine 7 Comments

When my preschool class was learning about robots, I set about finding books to read with them.  Below are 10 of the robot books for kids that I found.  Some I loved because of their beautiful illustrations, while others had fun story lines.  It’s a great beginning list for any early childhood robot theme!

The Three Little Aliens and the Big Bad Robot by Margaret McNamara
A funny remake of The 3 Little Pigs with a robot as the antagonist.  This book would also be great to include with a space theme.

This book talks about different jobs robots might do.  Cute illustrations with great rhymes.

Robot - 1 of 10 robot books for kids from Fun-A-Day!

DK Eyewitness Books: Robots by Roger Bridgman
This is more of a reference book than a read aloud for the kiddos.  It has tons of information and a variety of real photos. Great for those students who really want to jump into the robot theme.

Lots of Bots! - 1 of 10 robot books for kids from Fun-A-Day!

Lots of Bots! A Counting Pop-Up Book by David A. Carter
My students are always enamored with pop-up books, and this one is no different.  Lovely illustrations that pop up and capture the kids’ interests, while counting 1 to 10.

Meet Chase the Police-Bot - 1 of 10 robot books for kids from Fun-A-Day!

Transformers Rescue Bots: Meet Chase the Police-Bot by Lisa Shea
This book is best-suited for fans of the Rescue Bots cartoon.  It’s a basic book based on the plot of the show, but kids who love Transformers will definitely enjoy it.

Your Very Own Robot - 1 of 10 robot books for kids from Fun-A-Day!

Your Very Own Robot by R. A. Montgomery
I loved “choose your own adventure” stories when I was younger, so I was drawn to this book.  Kiddos decide what little adventures to take their robots on.

Sometimes I forget You're a Robot - 1 of 10 robot books for kids from Fun-A-Day!

Sometimes I Forget You’re A Robot by Sam Brown
Simple text and child-like drawings give this a child-written feel.  It’s about a little boy’s friendship with a robot, even though the robot doesn’t always meet the boy’s expectations.

Rolie Polie Olie - 1 of 10 robot books for kids from Fun-A-Day!

Rolie Polie Olie by William Joyce
Lovely rhyming text about an alien robot and how he spends his days.

Randy Riley's Really Big Hit - 1 of 10 robot books for kids from Fun-A-Day!

Randy Riley’s Really Big Hit by Chris Van Dusen
Rhyming words and colorful, detailed pictures.  This book is about a boy who’s having a bit of trouble playing baseball.  Cue his love of robots and outside-of-the-box thinking.

Do you have any suggestions for robot books?  If so, please share the titles in the comments below.  I love finding new books to include with my preschool themes!

      Thanks, Natalie! I LOVE that you have a “Future Engineers” Pinterest board. I might need to set one up for my own Engineer!

    The BEST new Robot book … Robo-Sauce by .Adam Rubin & Daniel Salmieri

    The book actually transforms into a robot book with a genius flipping of the cover!

    I’m a librarian and I did school visits and read this book to every student from K – 6th grade. EVERYONE LOVED IT!

      Just checked out Robo-Sauce from
      our local library. While my daughter isn’t a huge fan of robot books, this was on the “new books” shelf. She especially loved how the book transformed!
