With an off-beat sense of humor that makes learning fun, Jay Stephens shows kids how to draw a wide range of marvelous mechanical creatures complete with hardwired heads, bionic bodies, and lots of electrical extras. Budding cartoonists will be pleased to meet and illustrate such unique characters as Automa Tom, the cyborg Cyborella, Astralux, and Gokin 9. The design data Stephens wittily lays out include everything from wheels and transforming parts to jets, dials, levers, and weapon systems, all of which children can use to build” their own creations. Kids get to decide whether their robots will have armor, be able to slide into small spaces, have the ability to shoot projectiles, or anything else their imaginations can dream up!

A cell-phone robot that flies? How about ears made from satellite discs? With simple detailed instructions, an inviting text, and entertaining cartoon scenarios on each double-page spread, Stephens explains, step by step, how to draw a variety of robots. He encourages kids to find inspiration in everyday things: a swing lamp can be the basis of a great mechanical arm. He also explains how to use a computer scanner to add details (steam irons make great monster feet). Puns, which abound in both words and images, add a little extra fun. Grades 3-6. --Hazel Rochman
