trainbots by miranda paul and shane mcg

August 23, 2016 ashley donati

Kids love trains.  Kids love robots.  So guess what?  A genius person put them both together in one book giving kids everywhere exactly what they want!  Miranda Paul is a relatively new author who has written several titles including the new and adorable 10 Little Ninjas.  

Trainbots is the story of cheerful and rather industrious little robots who work together to build a shiny, new train that they will ride all the way to Kids Town, the place where boys and girls are waiting to play with their new robot toys.  On the way to Kids Town, terrible mean bots jump on board the train and break it.  The trainbots turn into super hero bots who save the day!  

Story Time Conversations:

  • This is a rhyming story.  Let's think of some words that rhyme.  I say a word, and you think of a word that rhymes.  Ball/Wall Cat/Bat Bot/Pot Train/Rain
  • If you were riding on the trainbots' train, what car would you ride in?  Caboose?  Engine?  Passenger car?
  • Which robot toy do you like the best?
