review 1: Poor Robomop! He is stuck cleaning a bathroom in a basemen. Day after day after day it is the same. He dreams of escaping to find fresh air, friends and to fall in love. He can't do it on his own because Robomops are not equipped for going up stairs. He tries hiding in a duffel bag and even pretending he is broken thinking the inspector will take him up and out for repairs. Just when he gives up hope the inspector brings a lovely Bio-Morphic Bellebot Cleanerette to the basement. Maybe at least some of Robomop's dreams will come true. Then he realizes his plans have backfired and the lovely Cleanerette isn't there to join him, but to replace him. Now Robomop is taken from the basement and put in the trash. This is not the freedom and fresh air he had dreamed of. I love the ... moresweet story and the retro=style illustrations.
review 2: Robomop is a hardworking machine stuck cleaning a bathroom in a basement. He schemes ways to escape, but each well-planned escape is thwarted in one way or another. He's lonely and wants to enjoy the sunlight and fall in love. One day the inspector brings a new robot cleaner, a lady robot and Robomop thinks he might like the new arrangement except that Robomop is finally taken above ground and promptly thrown away. A happy ending is still in store for Robomop, though, when the window cleaner, who was also let go, takes Robomop home with him and Robomop lives out all of his dreams, though, not in any way he ever imagined.What a great picture book read for adults! Woodblock illustrations are fantastically textured and the muted color palette helps set the tone for the story. less
