Clink by Kelly Dipucchio

Clink, a new book by Kelly Dipucchio (Grace for President), is a VERY cute book that children will love. It reminds me of Toy Story and Corduroy. Elementary children will love this book as a read aloud! Could lead to good discussions on technology then and now and how new technologies change our lives.

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 watches as his friends leave with their new owners. He almost gives up on ever finding a home—until the day Clink spies a boy who just might be able to be the right one for him. . . .
