Description
"It's refreshing to see a story that successfully incorporates technology into analog play rather than demonizing one or the other. A new-toy story for readers to befriend." - Kirkus Reviews
Ben was content playing with his animal friends, but he was beginning to get tired of the same thing every day. On his fifth birthday, a new friend named Tobor arrives. Tobor sure is different from all of Ben's other friends. Tobor is full of ideas and has nonstop energy. At first Ben is happy to play along, but then he begins to wonder if his new friend is to much. Will these two new friends find happiness together? Turn on the switch and find out!
Sometimes friendship develops where you least expect it. A heartwarming and funny story for children ages 4 and up.

I know a few young robot fans who will shriek with jot when they see this book! Fun story about a friendship between a little boy .his stuffed animals, and his new robot. I liked the illustrations- cute!
This story is all about incorporating mechanical and digital toys into a child’s playday. Tobor is a robot, but he is noisy and hard, and can not climb trees. There are times he needs to be turned off, or taught to be quite. It’s an interesting story, especially for today's children who are so used to digital toys that entertain them, that they forget how to entertain themselves.
