In Boy and Bot, a boy and a robot meet in the woods. When the robot gets switched off, the boy thinks he is sick and provides a host of unsuccessful remedies to help it. When the power is back on, the boy is asleep, and the robot's misunderstanding prompts him to employ his own get well tricks. It is both endearing and amusing and will surely please early readers.
