review 1: Katie brings us another adventure in the Harry and Horsie line of children's books. Katie's story, woven together with awesome illustrations, brings to life a grand adventure beyond the normal taking of a cookie from the jar! With Harry and Horsie building the Cookiebot to reach and retrieve them some cookies, the Cookiebot becomes a cookie-monster itself and it's up to Harry and Horsie to save all the cookies! I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I know my family and friends will see what a wonderful story it is and want it for their own children! Bravo to Katie and her "Harry and the Horsie" adventures! I can't wait for more!
review 2: Age level: 3-6 yearsReading level: 2nd grade Genre: Modern Fantasy/Sci FiCharacters: Horsie, Henry, CookiebotSetting: NYPOV: na... morerratorThe basic premise of this story is centered around Henry, a human, and Horsie, his stuffed animal friend. At the beginning of the story, Harry and Horsie are playing, and Harry hears a vicious stomach growl. Harry and Horsie both agree that they are hungry for...cookies! However, they run into a problem: the cookie jar is placed far too high on the shelf for them to reach! So, they must use their creative & imaginative minds to devise a plan to get the cookies. Horsie knew exactly what to do and soon enough, Harry and Horsie are using wrenches, spatulas, and hammers to build a splendid, large creation: a COOKIEBOT! At first, Cookiebot seems exciting! But Harry and Horsie soon discover that Cookiebot is a true addict....to cookies. And his fix MUST be satisfied at all costs. Cookiebot ravages through the downtown area, devouring every cookie in sight. Harry is at a loss-- he doesn't know what to do. But, once again, Horsie uses his fine imagination to save the city from being robbed of all its cookies. The robot tramples through the city block and Horsie builds an airplane and attaches a very large sugar cookie to distract Cookiebot from the city pastry cafes. Cookiebot ends up falling to his feet from dizziness after Horsie circles him at a fast pace in his airplane, and the story ends with Horsie giving Harry a tall glass of milk.Personal reaction/if I would recommend: I have to say that I was a little disappointed with this book. It was sort of anti-climactic, and there were no deeper themes I felt that could be explored. The illustrations were interesting-- very retro. I think it's a good book to to have students visualize this imaginative world where stuffed Horsies become super heroes and young boys build robots that devour cookies, and I think I could pull an activity out of that, like what type of robot the students might build. But, still, it's missing something. less
