The Wild Robot By: Peter Brown

Genre:  Adventure
Age Recommendation:  Grade 3-6

When a large cargo ship carrying robots sinks during a hurricane, some crates containing robots wash ashore on a small island.  All but one of the robots is broken into pieces and when this robot gets powered up, the island's animals quickly label her as a monster.  Over time, the robot, Roz, becomes a mother to an orphaned goose and a friend to the island's animals.  When the RECO robots come to retrieve all of the robot parts, it isn't without a fight.  This is an exciting story that would make a great read-aloud.  Also check out the sequel, The Wild Robot Escapes.
