"My son absolutely LOVES the first 2 books of the mighty robot series. It’s exciting, has fabulous illustrations and has new vocabulary. With fewer words on each page he is able to read it independently. There are also hidden pages that are exciting!"
— Julie (5/5)

Mighty Robots #1
"This is the first in a series. It is a great motivator for reluctant or struggling readers as the content really appeals to the grade 2 age group."

Amazing
"I bought this book for my son who loves to read. The illustrations are awesome & Dav Pikey has written book kids will love to read. My son had a hard time putting it down. Boys and their super heroes & robots is a great combination. The storyline keeps kids coming back for more & the comic in the book makes reading so much fun. The Mighty Robot books are a great collection of stories for young leveled readers who aren't ready for chapter books yet. Just loved these books."

A charming tale good for those just learning to read
"I read this book when I was younger and was impressed by it. I particularly like the book's focus on Ricky's need for a friend and the building of the friendship between the robot and Ricky Ricotta. Recommended for kids"
— Scott (3/5)
A great series for young readers
"We borrowed this series from a friend and enjoyed it so much at we bought it ourselves. It is a great starting point for children moving from picture books to chapter books (whether they are reading them alone or being read to by a parent). Each book has a section that is like a traditional book, like a comic book and like a flip book (where you turn the page back and forth to make the characters move). The pictures are colourful and the stories are fun to follow. I recommend this book as well as the rest of the series."
