Clink was a state-of-the-art robot with the dazzling ability to make toast and play music at the same time. But that was many years ago. Now kids want snazzier robots who do things like play baseball and bake cookies. So day after day, Clink sits on a shelf and sadly watched as his friends leave with the new owners. He almost gives up on ever finding a home- unit the day Clink spies a boy who just might be able to be the right one for him...This is yet another great tale from Michigan author, Kelly DiPucchio. I picked this up to add to my DiPucchio collection to share with the students and staff at my school before she visits us in March. I read online that this story is very similar to the children's classic, Corduroy. I would have to agree. It's very heartwarming to watch, as this story progresses, the sadness that Clink experiences and then ends up having a change in emotions as he may have found the boy for him.
This story teaches more about character and determination than I could see it being used in reading or writing, but I'm sure that there are plenty more lessons in this story as well.
