Stop! Bot!, Hardcover

Rear Window meets Wes Anderson meets Richard Scarry in this fun picture book follow-up to Bus Stop

In this very young picture book mystery, a little boy out for a walk with his family stops to show a building doorman his new "bot": "I have a bot " Only he doesn't have it for long, because it floats up out of his hands like an escaped balloon. "Stop Bot " Springing to action, the kind doorman runs up to each floor of the building to try and catch it -- along with the help of each floor's resident. But while everything looks normal at first, every floor (and resident) is a little more wacky and unusual than the last Musicians, baseball players, zoo animals, and finally a very large monkey all play a part -- but will they rescue the Bot before it's too late? Children will love all the funny details in this very playful picture book
