George the Flybot Read-Along Series

by Nessa Bellido Schwarz, Jason Fruchter (Illustrator)

Overview

Meet GEORGE the flybot, a tiny one-of-a-kind fly-shaped robot who takes his name from the wording on his battery charger: Geo Engineering Office of Robotics at Gadabout Enterprises. GEORGE's boss Darcy Luna, a micro-programmer, sends him on special missions around the world with a company called Fly on the Wall Inc. While GEORGE flies off to explore tiny spaces that are too small for drones to fit, he has a mission of his own: to learn more about how humans act and feel, and maybe--just maybe--find a friend.

Each book in the series interweaves historical facts, animal facts, high-tech gadgetry, and humor with universal themes of friendship, fitting in, and embracing one's uniqueness. Elementary school readers will enjoy the real-life treasure hunts, the fun spin on search and discovery of lost artifacts, and the insightful observations on humanity from an "outsider" like GEORGE.

Includes GEORGE the Flybot and the Lost Camera on Mount Everest and GEORGE the Flybot and the Golden Owl of France.
