review 1: Date: October 7th, 2014Author: David LucasTitle: The Robot and the BluebirdPlot: In this story, the robot has a broken heart and sent to reside with the scraps of old machines. Day and night he is alone, until a bluebird on their way to a warmer climate lands on his shoulder. The robot and bluebird create a bond that will change both of their lives forever. Setting: The robot junkyard, natureCharacters: The Robot and the BluebirdPoint-of-View: Third-Person Theme: Friendship, freedom, healing heartStyle: Short sentences, simple storyCopyright: 2007Notes: This story was rather heartwarming and sad at the time. It's such a powerful story about two unlikely characters that depend on one another and without each other, they are doomed. Great story to use to discuss death and ha... morerdships and keeping someone that is precious and important in your life.
review 2: A peculiar little story, with unusual characters. It had a lot of potential but somehow never had the impact I expected it to have in the end. I suppose one could sum it up by saying it was a story about friendship and sacrificing oneself for one's friends. Nevertheless it had its poetic moments, especially when describing how the bluebird became like the robot's missing heart. I enjoyed the illustrations very much, and would like to see more from this illustrator. An odd book, but recommended. less
