Items related to Wendel's Workshop
If his inventions go wrong, Wendel just throws them away and starts again. So when Clunk, his robot assistant, fills the sock drawer with cups and saucers and makes tea in a Wellington boot, Wendel throws him on the scrap heap and makes himself a new assistant: the Wendelbot. But he gets more than he bargained for, and soon Wendel finds himself on the scrap heap. Can he win back his workshop from the mighty Wendelbot? Let the robot battle commence!
A very funny adventure full of crazy inventions and magnificent robots – with a subtle environmental message.

About the Author:
From Booklist:
Chris Riddell is one of today’s most highly acclaimed illustrators and the chief political cartoonist for the Observer. He has won numerous awards, including the Nestlé Gold Award, the UNESCO Prize, and the rare honour of two Kate Greenaway Medals. Chris has created over 100 books for children of all ages, including his hugely popular collaborations with Paul Stewart such as MUDDLE EARTH (978-0-330-42628-2) and the Blobheads series. WENDEL’S WORKSHOP, his second solo picture book for Macmillan, follows THE EMPEROR OF ABSURDIA (978-1-4050-9028-5).
Wendel, a hardworking inventor mouse, sometimes invents so much he forgets to sleep, and whenever a doodad doesn’t work, he just tosses it aside. To handle the scrap heap, he invents a robot, names it Clunk, and sets it to work tidying up. But when Clunk makes a few mistakes, Wendel sends the robot to the junk pile and invents a bigger, badder cleaning robot, the Wendelbot. This one goes on a psycho cleaning jag and whisks Wendel right out of his workshop. Reunited with Clunk, Wendel invents an army of messy-minded robots to blow a gasket in the Wendelbot. In the end, Wendel learns that broken things demand mending, not trashing. Riddell fuses a gently twisted sensibility with his trademark finely wrought pen work and displays a winning sense of scale, filling some pages with multiple vignettes and others with full bleeds to punctuate the drama. Super fun, with tons to look at and a helpful but understated message, this picture book is ideal for solo readings, where the intricacies of the artwork can be fully appreciated. Preschool-Grade 2. --Ian Chipman
