Robot in Love by T.L. McBeth
This book is about a robot who sees his true love while walking through town. He thinks about her for a day, talks to her the next, and then he decides he will bring her flowers.
To his heartbreak, she is missing and he looks everywhere. He walks into a nearby store and he finally sees her! You will have to read the story to see the hilarious twist.

Robot in Love will help build print awareness, vocabulary, and narrative skills.
This book also builds early literacy skills such as talking, reading, and playing.
Extend the book by building a paper robot.
What you will need:
1 Black sheet of paper
1 White sheet of paper
1 Pink or Red sheet of paper
1 Color paper of your choosing for the teeth
1 Different Color paper of your choosing for the robot head
Scissors
Glue stick
1: Make a square head for your robot. Make sure you also cut piece of paper with the same color paper for the head to make a flap for over the eyes. Cut out 2” white circles, 1” hearts, 1” black circles, 4 “teeth” of the color you chose, and 4 black small strips of paper.
Tumblr media
2: On the back of the head, attach a black strip to each side of the square and glue. Take the other two strips and make a 'V' shape and glue it in the middle.

3: Turn the head over and add your white circles with your heart shaped eyes to the middle of them and add your teeth to the bottom of the square.
4: Attach the flap to the top of the head and put the remaining two white circles and then add the two black eyes to the middle.

7 Works with Aromantic Representation for Aromantic Awareness Week!
Tumblr media
Today, February 18th, marks the beginning of Aromantic Spectrum Awareness Week! To celebrate, we asked our contributors to recommend to us books with aro characters. This was a doubly challenging ask, because we also did a rec list for Aromantic Awareness Week last year, and we didn’t want any repeats this year!
Archivist Wasp (Archivist Wasp Saga) by Nicole Kornher-Stace
An Accident of Stars (Manifold Worlds series) by Foz Meadows
Not Your Backup (Sidekick Squad series) by C.B. Lee
Hockey Bois by A.L. Heard
Sheepfarmer’s Daughter (The Deed of Paksenarrion series) by Elizabeth Moon
Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata
The Priory of the Orange Tree (The Roots of Chaos series) by Samantha Shannon
Recommendations contributed by Shadaras (@shadaras on Tumblr), Nina Waters (@unforth on Tumblr), Polls (@not-gwaenchanha on Tumblr), and Shea Sullivan.
What are your favorite aro books? There’s no such thing as too many aro books on our bookshelves!
You can view all the aromantic books we’ve recommended as a bookshelf on Goodreads!
Want to chat your favorite reads with us? Join our Book Lover’s Discord server!
Love reading queer books? Our Queer Book Challenge is running on Storygraph through the end of 2024. Come join us! We’ve hit 100 readers, and it’d be awesome to have even more!

Dog Books for Early Literacy
We have two great books and a craft today for little kids who love dogs - and kids who are a little scared of them. These books are perfect for kids who aren't reading on their own yet. They'll help them build important skills that'll set them up for reading success.
Tumblr media
I Got a New Friend by Karl Newsom Edwards
I Got a New Friend is a simple, well illustrated picture book about a girl getting a new puppy. The girl and the puppy are a bit overwhelmed at first, but come to be best friends. The story introduces young children to the care and responsibilities involved with getting a pet.
Skills
The simple text is large and easy to read, which is great for print awareness and letter knowledge.
Each page features one simple, illustrated sentence about dog care, which builds a child's background knowledge on the subject.
Practices
The easy text helps early readers practice reading.
Ask the child you are reading with about getting a new pet. This encourages talking and verbal skills in early readers.
Playing like the child just got a new pet helps build imagination.
Check out I Got a New Friend
Ben and the Scaredy-Dog by Sarah Ellis and illustrated by Kim LaFave
Ben and the Scaredy-Dog is about a young boy who is very afraid of dogs. New neighbors move in across the street, and with them comes Max, a large dog who has his own set of fears in his new home. Ben is invited over to the neighbor's house for a play date and is terrified when he is left alone with Max, but in the end both Ben and Max learn to overcome their fears.
Skills
This picture book has more complicated text, which builds a child's vocabulary regarding dogs and feeling scared.
The more complicated text can also help children to build background knowledge and more awareness of the world around them.
Practices
Talk to your child about something they are afraid of or nervous about. Not only does this help with verbal skills, but it also promotes socio-emotional skills.
Have your child practice writing their name and their pet/s names. This helps early readers but also works on fine motor skills children need to have to be ready for school.
Check out Ben and the Scaredy-Dog
Extend the book with a paper bag dog puppet!
We found this wonderful craft on Ottawa Mommy Club! Check out the blog for a free template and step-by-step instructions with detailed pictures.
Here's how ours turned out:
Tumblr media
We used shades of brown construction paper but black, white, or gray would work too!
To really reinforce those early literacy skills, have your child tell you a story using their new dog puppet once it's done!
