Synopsis
This innovative series uses storytelling as the gateway to learning and exploration. Six action-packed story-scenes are followed by photographic information spreads-which provide scientific detail and background. Each title can be read front to back, or the reader can follow special 'page links' for a thematic exploration. This series is perfect for emerging readers who are beginning to exercise wider reading, research and cross-referencing skills.
Explorers: Robots - by Chris Oxlade, illustrated by Peter Bull - is an interactive adventure unveiling the fascinating world of robotics and all it has to offer the 21st century. "How do robots work?" "What jobs can Robots do?" "Can robots work in space?" And: "Are humans and robots related?"-are only a few of the questions young readers can explore in this high-interest and fast paced book chock-full of timely scientific and technological information.

Reviews
The Explorers series taps into a kid’s innate curiosity with popular topics and easily digestible nuggets of information. Robots introduces everything from the sure-to-be-coveted domestic robot, which can do pesky household chores; “submersible robots,” unaffected by deep-sea pressure; and the Mars rover. Each robot, futuristic as it may look, is being used today in one capacity or another (robot pet cat, anyone?). What’s unique about these titles is the interactive component: there are four different color “buttons” appearing throughout, each representing a topic (environment, record breakers, and so forth). Kids use these buttons as a guide to leap forward and backward through the book, choose-your-own-adventure-style, with a summary page at the end. The design of these titles has the feel of a DK book, although less frenetic, and the self-guided approach to learning may work better for inquisitive kids than report writers. Grades 3-5. --Ann Kelley
