Book Review - 'The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess' by Tom Gauld

Oh my pagan goddesses, what a lovely little original fairy tale picture book. After finishing it, I just thought and felt, "Lovely". I don't know how else to describe it.

'The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess' is simple, sweet and adorable. It is an adventure book, and it is dynamic and clever; yet ironically, especially as its titular children are made of wood, there is this softness to it. It is a positive and absolutely adorable book about helping others and being kind. There are no baddies. Even the traditional green witch in the woods is good and helpful.

There is a female inventor, a goblin, and beetles and other animals. I won't tell you anything else. It is best to go into 'The Little Wooden Robot and the Log Princess' blind and verily...experience it, new emotions abound.

It really is like a lullaby. Perfect for bedtime reading.

Recommended for all ages. At any time, any place, anywhere.

Final Score: 4/5
