“Errand Robot”

I received a new picture book from picture book author Sanae Kosugi. Thank you so much!

Three mouse brothers brainstorm various ideas and work together to build a shopping robot.

The ending is… well, they can't go shopping as planned, but even so, they enjoy the outcome and throw themselves into building robots for their next project—it's a heartwarming story of crafting and programming.

To all of you who love making things, what do you think?

Ever since I read *The Princess Who Loves the Number 5*, I’ve been a huge fan of Sanae Kosugi’s picture books. This picture book is a story about “numbers”—it’s about a princess who loves the number 5 and a prince who loves the number 10 getting married.

We recommend this one, too!
