Ultrabot is told it will have a playdate with Becky who lives next door and isn't sure it likes this idea. What if Becky is rude or mean?

This was a cute book that helps introduce children to the concept of a playdate and how it's okay to be nervous but to try new things anyway, as they might just find out that they really enjoy those new things.

The illustrations were top-notch. It was neat to have an almost aerial perspective because of Ultrabot being so tall. I also loved all the small details in the backgrounds, particularly the little cameos from a pet cat. Illustrations show that "the professor" who cares for Ultrabot is a woman, and it's always nice to have some female representation in the hard sciences. ( )
