While the plot of this sci-fi story, especially when told in its sing-song rhyme, can feel a bit didactic, the message of accepting yourself and embracing your differences is timeless. Littles will love Rusty for his quirks and will hopefully in turn learn a bit about embracing their own. It is worth a visit to your local library to find a copy for your littlest robot lover. For your reading task today, read the text about Anglo Saxon houses, ‘Premium Property for Sale’, and answer the four questions. The depth to be found in this book is in its celebration of what makes us all unique. Rusty doesn't like the way he sounds but he comes to realise how great the little things that make us all different can be. This is an obvious and nice teaching point. I'd recommend using this book with children in KS1 or early years. I can already think of a few children I have taught in the past who would have loved reading about a robot in space if nothing else! Sporty bumps into Noisy who gets a bad case of robotic hiccups. Everyone tries different ways to cure her. They head off with a DING and a SQUEAK. They meet Hoot who is also happy but dealing with a HONK. “Let’s all loosen up, have fun and play. / Enjoy yourself, Rusty. It’s a much better way!” says Hoot. Together they travel on with a HONK, DING, and SQUEAK. But will Rusty ever find the help he needs to be happy with his squeak?
For a child, most likely listening to an adult read this, this is everything it needs to be to become a favorite, often-requested book.
Rusty squeaks and he doesn't like it at all. He even doesn't like himself because of it. What he doesn't know at first is that each of his friends has their own difference, in this case a noise. My 2 year old boys loved the noises in the book, and could even point to the noise words because they were in a different font. That makes it a great book for recognizing word to print connections. As a mother of a child with Down Syndrome I think this book would be a great book to read to a class and talk about things everyone has that are different. In the end of the book, not only do they each have a difference but they also use their differences to make music and the concept of using their individuality to make a stronger thing is so great!
Rusty wishes he was larger and gets his wish when he puts his head on a new robot body prototype developed by Quirk. However, he soon finds himself targeted by a group of chopshoppers as well as the Legion Ex Machina.
Will you be claiming the VAT back?

The series was originally in development by the motion-picture division of Lego Media, a subsidiary of The Lego Group that produced video games and TV shows based on Lego products and properties. [1] which rebranded to Create TV and Film in 2003. [3] General Thornton (voiced by R. Lee Ermey) - A United States Army general who heads the government's BGY-11 Commission, that created the Big Guy. He helps keep the Big Guy's secret from Rusty and the others. Looking for a good book? Rusty the squeaky Robot by Neil Clark is a beautiful children's picture book with a simple, strong story with an underlying message, and gorgeous art, but reading it out loud will be just a little bit awkward.
