Rusty the Squeaky Robot
by Neil Clark (Author) Neil Clark (Illustrator)
Rusty is a friendly robot, but not a very happy one; he's feeling down about the way that he sounds. The other robots on Planet Robotone - Belle, Twango, Hoot and Boom-Bot - show Rusty that being a little bit different is the best way to be, and together make a raucous song and dance that celebrates their differences.
This charming story about friendship, self-discovery and the strength of pooling everyone's talents together has a strong, empowering message of acceptance and embracing individuality. With wonderful, contemporary illustrations that will appeal to young children and parents alike, the story will provoke thought - and conversation - about being different, and how we should all embrace our characteristics and be comfortable and confident in ourselves.

Robot Rusty laments his squeaks. Fortunately, one of the other bots he meets convinces him that "we all have funny sounds, but if we add them together... / ...we can make brand new sounds, it's really rather clever!" Clark's rhymes could use a conductor, but the music-together-sounds-better message strikes a chord, and the cheerful geometric art hits the right notes.
