Funny book
This is a fun idea for a book! My used copy was autographed!

... expect from the creative team who brought us Dragons Love Tacos and Secret Pizza Party (among others)
The book start off exactly as you'd expect from the creative team who brought us Dragons Love Tacos and Secret Pizza Party (among others); It's entertaining for both children and adults, beautiful to look at, and just the right amount of funny for a kids book. BUT... Robo-Sauce is different than any other children book I've seen (and I've seen a lot) because this book transforms into another book. It plays right into the story of robots taking over. It took my 3 year old a little bit to figure out how to do the book transformation herself, but once she got it she was so proud she wanted to show EVERYONE her new book and how it changes. Definitely a new favorite for my kids. When I find interesting books like this I typically buy a few so can give them out for all the birthday parties I go to. The book seems much more substantial than the price listed on Amazon so you get extra credit when giving it as a gift.

Son gives it 10 million stars!
I didn’t read the reviews before buying this one- just saw “robot” and ordered it for my eight year old who also likes Dragons Love Tacos. It is fantastic! We were all so surprised by what happened with the book and my son gives it 10 million stars! Don’t hesitate, just buy it.

Enjoyable, but not as good as Those Darn Squirrels or Dragons Love Tacos
Love everything by Adam Rubin, and heartily recommend all his books. This is more of a rating reflective of my three year old's interest in the book. He liked this book just fine, it's just not for him on the same level as the Those Darn Squirrels books or the Dragons Love Tacos ones - which are constant go-tos in the evening literary rotation.

My kids love this one
My kids love this one. It's a bit irreverent and silly, and I love that in the end the boy's family is shown supporting him and being silly with him. Surprisingly the pages haven't ripped, which is probably mostly luck since my kids aren't exactly cautious when flipping the cover around. Both my 8 and 4 year old still love me to read this one to them. It's a hit in our house!Update: My kids are now 10 and 6 and still both love this book. (Well, the 10 year old doesn't read it on his own, but he always makes a point to come in and listen when we're reading it to his little brother!) They both love that the family in the book decides to be silly with the boy rather than scolding him. I think it appeals to them since they often find themselves in a similar situation! And the book still hasn't ripped, although I think that's mostly because we say the grown up reading it does the folding. This book has stood the test of time in our house!

Definitely a good book!! well worth the read good for parents and for kids
We absolutely love this book. My husband who happens to be deployed at this time. Purchase this book and made it really awesome audio/video recording of it and sent it to us. This book is so cute and it's by the same author who wrote dragons love tacos. We absolutely love both books and read them frequently. My son walks around talking like a robot everyday he says I am a robot I am sent to you from outer space beep boop. All day everyday. If you are thinking about getting this but I highly recommend it it's really good your kids will enjoy it and parents will enjoy reading it. The best part about this book is it literally transforms into iRobot the book itself turns into a robot is really cute. Go ahead and get this book and read it to your kids they'll enjoy it so will you

A family favorite
Unique interactive book that flips inside out and upside down. First found it at the library and knew we had to jump at the chance to own it

Great family read!
My kid loves this book! She is 7 and reads it to me every night (well sometimes I read it too;-). I have a bunch of books by these two - we love them!

then this book is super fun. *slight spoiler* The illustrations are excellent
This book is hilarious. I'm not sure who loves it more, myself or my robot-obsessed 3.5 yr old. If you're looking for wholesomeness and morality tales, this is not for you. However, if you have a sense of humor and don't mind the idea of world Robo-domination, then this book is super fun.*slight spoiler*The illustrations are excellent, as is the surprise book transformation. The colors are mostly grayscale, metallic, and dayglow. I find the alternate cover doesn't wrap around perfectly, and does require adult help, but we're reading it together anyway.

これはすごい!すべてが(本も作者もまでが)変身してしまうソース!
ロボットになれたら、きっと楽しいし、宿題もしなくていいし、歯もみがかなくてもいいのに、と、特製ロボソースでロボットに変身した主人公の男の子。でも、ロボットは大きすぎて、乱暴すぎて、誰も遊んでくれない・・・・という悲哀を描いたものかと思いきや、とんでもない! 誰も遊んでくれない状況を打開する方法が凄すぎた(爆笑) 途中から、作者の「なっ何をするんだー!めちゃくちゃじゃないか!」という悲鳴が聞こえてきそうな文章に、子供と一緒に大爆笑でした。実際、最後は本も作者もとんでもない状態にされちゃう。本当に(手に持っているこの本が物理的に)変身します!(なので、kindleではなく、紙の本がおすすめです) 本の限界を突破する爽快感と、作者の独創的な発想&工夫に脱帽です。
