Doll-E 1.0

by Shanda McCloskey

A STEM-friendly tale of a girl and the doll she upgrades to be her new friend, for fans of The Most Magnificent Thing and Rosie Revere, Engineer.

Charlotte's world is fully charged! With her dog at her side, she's always tinkering, coding, clicking, and downloading. She's got a knack for anything technological--especially gadgets that her parents don't know how to fix! Then, she receives a new toy that is quite a puzzle: a doll! What's she supposed to do with that? Once she discovers the doll's hidden battery pack, things start to get interesting...while her faithful canine sidekick wonders if he'll be overshadowed by the new and improved Doll-E 1.0! With a little ingenuity and an open mind, everyone can be friends in this endearing, modern tribute to the creative spirit of play.

Originally posted on Creative Madness Mama.Today's generation of children has different toys from the past days I remember. Everything today is very electronic and active. In some ways there is less imagination at play, but not completely. Doll-E 1.0 is a fun, creative, and attractive book for the electronic age child. While I have, personally, been pretty adamant about unplugged-play... my children still were able to really enjoy this book. It opened a large discussion about how their play time may look different from others that are on computers and devices all the time. They all agreed in the end, dolls (and action figures!) are worth the time to play with and they are glad that this little girl was also introduced to the world of Doll-E.

I love the illustrations and I enjoyed this little story. One for the keeper shelf, I think. This book was provided by the publisher for review. The opinion is truth and all mine.
