THE WILD ROBOT ON THE ISLAND

Kathleen McInerney's narration is gentle and sweet in this adaptation of the novel THE WILD ROBOT into a picture book. Music ranges from bright to apprehensive in this story of Roz, a robot who washes up on an island, learns to live like the animals, and raises a gosling named Brightbill. Tension occurs when Brightbill must migrate and Roz cannot, but McInerney never conveys a sense of fear. Even Roz's robotic voice has an inherent kindness. Nature's sound effects include birdsong, honking geese, and splashing water. Young listeners will enjoy perusing the captivating images in an included PDF while listening.
