Robot Zot must learn how to be a hero - in the name of true love. But when he discovers the princess.a pink cell phone.his mission takes a new course. This comically self-deluded protagonist proves that fierce warriors of any size can still be brought to their knees by love. Robot Zot, the fearless and unstoppable warrior, leaves a trail of destruction as he encounters blenders, toasters, and televisions. Shannon’s acrylic artwork offers bright colors and plenty of humor (a slightly anthropomorphized blender’s white buttons fall out like teeth under Zot’s attack). Scieszka laces his action-filled narrative with rhymes and repetitive robot phrases (“Robot Zot-never fall./ Robot Zot-conquers all!”). He and his sidekick (a cross between a snail and a conquistador’s helmet-one of a few references to the Quixotic nature of Zot’s mission) save the queen and escape while a bewildered homeowner surveys the aftermath and blames his dog. The only problem is that the earth he lands on is a suburban kitchen and he is three inches tall. After fending off “attacks” from a toaster and a television, Zot faces his toughest challenge yet: rescuing the amazing “Queen of all Earth” (an attractive toy cellphone).

There, it’s revealed that Zot is about the size of an iPod. Robot Zot, a malevolent red contraption, crash lands “into the heart of the dangerous Earth Army” (a backyard) and makes his way into a fully equipped kitchen. Scieszka and Shannon take a detour from their Trucktown series to pay homage to another object of childhood fascination.
