It is time to meet Roz in this gorgeous picture book made from the story of the first book!

Which by the way, I didn’t know. I didn’t read the blurb. I didn’t read anything about the book. I just saw the book online and yeeted it on my Need to Buy list! I really love The Wild Robot series (the books) and I always wanted more of it. So I didn’t know that this one was a retelling in picture book form. I thought it was a new story. A new island. Imagine my surprise as I was reading it and things felt very familiar. Haha. Still I had a lot of fun and I am glad that I found this one in the library, I hadn’t expected it, I was already thinking of putting it on my Christmas wishlist for Santa.

In this one we meet a robot named Roz who lands on an island after her crate fell off a boat. She is cut-off from everything and we see that at the start she is a bit confused what to do. But then she started to look at the animals around her and starts doing what they are doing. She looks at each animal that lives on the island and imitates what they are doing. From their moves to making homes to well everything you need to survive. She even learns the animal language (that is dedication). At times it looked quite funny to see a robot make moves that you don’t expect from a robot or see her live in a small hut with a cozy fire. I loved seeing Roz again and I had fun following her as she made a home on the island. Made the place her own and helped out the animals around her. It was just the sweetest and I was just rooting for Roz.

And then she finds an egg and I knew what was coming was even more cute and adorable. She helps hatch the egg and becomes a mom/friend to the little one inside, which was just the cutest in the normal books but seeing it happen in gorgeous illustrations? My heart just melted with so much love and cute. I loved seeing the little one grow up and I loved seeing Roz and the little one grow closer with each year.

The art? WOW, I loved every moment of these and I wouldn’t mind several to be on my wall as decoration. It just made the story of our dear robot even more perfect.

All in all, I would recommend this one to first time readers and people like me who have read the book already. This is a gorgeous addition and I had fun reading it!
