A robot’s big day—and the recharge he forgot

Whirby is a robot eager for his school’s bot battles, but the excitement leads him to stay up practicing and building instead of recharging. The competition puts that missed rest to the test, giving the story a playful way to explore nighttime routines and the importance of rest. Robot battles, gadgets, and a familiar childhood dilemma share the stage in this 40-page picture book.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children ages 4–8 who enjoy robots, robotics, and robot competitions
  • Families looking for a picture book about bedtime routines and getting enough rest

Book overview

If you (and your children!) struggle with setting a nighttime routine, staying up for countless hours, and regretting it the day after--this picture book is for you!

Whirby the robot is all systems go for his favorite school activity: bot battles! All that clinking, clanging, beeping, and banging makes Whirby so excited.

So excited that he forgets to recharge at night. He stays up practicing his best moves and building the coolest contraptions before the big battle.

But when it's finally his turn to compete...BWOMP! BZZZ! ZZT!

With his battery on 0%, will Whirby find a way to still be the bot battle champion? Find out in this funny new offering from The Big Squeeze author, Molly Harris, and the illustrator of Big Bike, Little Bike, Jacob Souva!
