ReviewedThe U.S. military has given nearly 1,000 robots to police departments around the country. This means most police robots are ex-military. Young readers will walk through the history of robots teaming up with those who bravely wear the badge. They can decide for themselves if they think robots belong on the beat.
'Middle grade students interested in robots will be drawn to this informative set. Each volume opens with a short scenario illustrating the featured robot in action. The ensuing pages provide information about the development and use of the robot, accompanied by copious photographs. Text features include captions, information boxes, table of contents, glossary, index and a To Learn More page, directing readers to other books. However, for internet resources, readers are directed to Factsurfer, the publisher’s proprietary search engine. Billed as a safe, secure search engine, searches generally provide three results. THOUGHTS: While these books may not provide enough material for researchers, they should be satisfying for pleasure reading.', Nancy Nadig, Penn Manor School Districtt
