Overview
A girl uses code to build a robot dog from scratch in this heartwarming STEM-based picture book perfect for fans of HOW TO CODE A SANDCASTLE and PAPA'S MECHANICAL FISH.
When Grace's parents tell her she can't have a dog, she has the perfect solution - she'll build a robot dog! Grace gets to work screwing the parts together, crossing the wires, installing the sensors, and, of course, writing the dog's code.
But Grace's robot dog is a little too perfect. He always wags his tail when he's happy, waits patiently for his food, and fetches the stick every. Single. Time.
When Grace has the idea to program him to break the rules sometimes, she throws his stick a little too far. She'll have to use code - and friends - to bring him back.
Perfect for aspiring coders and builders, GRACE BUILDS AN ALMOST-PERFECT DOG is a tender tale about the power of friendship and determination.
