I received a copy of this eBook from netGalley for a honest review.

The little girl in this book has anxiety that she calls a robot in her sock when things don't go as she plans or wants. Her mom completely understands and helps her with this but when she has to go to grandma's house will she be as understanding? Luckily grandma has a robot in her life too. I fun book to help find ways of understanding differences and anxiety that life brings.

Thank you, Netgalley, Meredith Rusu, and 4U2B Books & Media for the ebook. A fun and interactive children's story! Loved the illustrations and story and my daughter loved it! Heart warming!

Thank you to Edelweiss, Netgalley and 4U2B Books and Media for the opportunity to read and review this picture book for my students. This is a sweet story that shows what happens with mental health and how change can be difficult for kids. Unfortunately, though I think it’s just too complex for my students because of these points, I have to give this a 4 out of 5 stars

Thank you to Netgalley and 4U2B Books & Media for a digital ARC in exchange for mine, and my son's, reviews.

This is a really sweet and entertaining, yet also educational, book about a girl with sensory difficulties and how she handles changes (both material and psychological) in her environment. My son also has sensory difficulties and some executive function deficits, so I thought this would be a good book to help him when things don't go his way. However, this book aimed at an older audience than my 4 year old. The abstract concept of the robot representing how Jamie feels about changes in her environment went over his head, even when I explained certain scenes to him. I look forward to reading this book when he is old enough to understand the symbolism!

I would recommend this book for kids ages 5-10 who have a difficult time with schedule changes, sensory sensitivities, or may be very particular about how they like their world to function.

The robot in these socks is very particular and likes things to be perfect. But then the routine is disrupted as she and the robot go to Grandma's house. Grandma does things differently from Mom, and it's Not Perfect.

Change is hard. Change is harder if you're used to everything being perfect. While this book is a little over the top, it's a lot of fun. I like the illustrations and the symbolism, and I'm delighted that Grandma was patient and kind throughout. The rhymes are cleverly crafted and the plot satisfying.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All opinions are my own.

I received a digital copy of this book.

As a parent of children on the autism spectrum who also have sensory issues, I am grateful to see stories like this! Books that normalize the neurodivergent brain are exactly what we need for our children to feel "seen".

In this story, a young girl named Jamie expresses her feelings through a pair of robot socks that do the talking for her through boops, beeps and whirs when things are "all wrong". A visit to an unfamiliar grandparent's house without Mommy is uncomfortable for Jamie until Gram realizes that Jamie isn't so unlike another person Gram knows well...herself!

The book is written in rhyming verse and has cute artwork. Robot reminds me of a Roly Poly robot character from a 1990s show that aired on certain channel with the mouse. (iykyk)
I read this aloud with my 6 year old sensitive child and he seemed to enjoy it even though he told me that it was a little long for his tastes. Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for making this book available to me for review.

Jamie has a robot in her socks that ensures everything goes smoothly, but a trip to Grandma’s disrupts her routine. As her robot glitches, Jamie learns it’s okay to feel nervous about change.

My children picked up on two major topics in this story that can elicit big emotions - having to adjust to change and be adaptable, as well as having to do it outside of your comfort zone (without mom). This was such a sweet story and the illustrations were very fun! As an 80s kid, I definitely got Rosie from the Jetsons vibes and it made me like the book even more. I love that Grandma had her own robot and was able to relate to Jamie and how she was feeling, ultimately leading to a successful visit and wiring the brain to appreciate a bit of change.

I think this would be an excellent read in classrooms, with children who are sensitive to sameness, children with anxiety, OCD or who are neurodivergent. These feelings are highly relatable!

Super cute book that would be a great tool for talking to kids who like things just so. Acknowledges those feelings while also opening a path to discuss flexibility with kids.

There’s a Robot in My Socks by Meredith Rush. I love the story. The story is so cute it talks about the feelings children have when they are not at home but are at grandmas house. The colors in the story are bright and colorful. I think my four year old granddaughter would love the story.

I found this book in the Recommendation section on NetGalley and thought that I should give it a go. The cover is really cute, and the bright colours made me interested in the story. On top of that the drawing style is really cute and fits the story perfectly.

The description as same as the book itself are pretty short. The rhymes were fun and made the story even more lively. It's more than just a story about a girl and a robot in her socks. It can be a good way to introduce and help children when they themselves have a robot in their life.

A wonderful book. Both touchy and useful for special children to relate. Though, you do not have to be special to have robot in your socks. Anything which makes you stressed or uncomfortable could be explained with robots.

A fun, easy read to help kids with change. My son enjoyed the rhymes and the illustrations. I look forward to more in this series.

Beautiful artwork but the story was lacking. The rhyming wasn't consistent and didn't flow well and I didn't really get what the message of the story was.

The book was beautifully written. The author made careful word choices that were very impactful. Overall, the book was well written and I did really enjoy it.

I really loved the artwork in this book, but I didn’t like the message. I’m not a fan of letting kids get away with being picky and fussy by blaming it on something imaginary, and there wasn’t much lesson at the end to make up for it. As a parent, I wouldn’t want to have this book.

I thought that this was a really fun book that has a really important message.

The book deals with the emotions of a young girl who wants to have things done in a certain way. She has a settled routine at home with her mum, but when she goes to spend the day with her grandma things don't go so well.

In the story the girl has an imaginary Robot that controls her emotions and she goes on to find that her grandma had a Robot of her own as she needs everything to be kept clean and in order and they bond over this.

I thought that the illustrations in the book were great, they really brought the story of the book to life. The layout of the book was great, the text was easy to read and nice and bright too.

It is 5 stars from me for this one - very highly recommended!

This was the bed time story my 9 year old read to my 3 year old. They both really enjoyed it. I like how the author expressed the characters feelings. Will read again for sure.

'There's a Robot in My Socks' is such a fun and important read. The use of the robot to visually explore the complicated emotions and perfectionism of children is really lovely. It does a fantastic job of normalizing sensory issues, as well. The illustrations are truly stellar and I could easily see kids wanting to read more of these books as a result. Kids seeing their misunderstood emotions on the page like this is vital.

Meredith Rusu’s allegory of OCD or autism spectrum disorders as a robot that occasionally goes on the fritz would be wonderful in so many ways! For one, this picture book takes the stigma off the child, as there’s so much a kid can’t overcome — at least not so young. It’s also a great introduction to use for classmates (or even a teacher), making it easier to understand why a new classmate might sometimes have meltdowns, perseverations or rigidity. Martín Morón’s illustrations of Janie and her grandmother turning a bad day around will delight young and old, as well.

As the mother of two adult daughters with autism, I sure would have loved to have this book back in the day!

In the interest of full disclosure, I received this book from NetGalley and 4U2B Books & Media in exchange for an honest review.

Picked up this arc because of the funny and cute title. The art and storytelling remind me a little bit of the "How to Catch a..." series. Bright and colorful illustrations, rhyming prose. The story follows a cute little girl and her robot pal as they navigate difficulties in their day. Cute summer storytime read.
