I had read a number of excellent reviews of this book but was keen to hold a copy in my hand & once I did there was no way I was leaving it on the shelf. (It really is an irresistible book, perfect size, colours, illustration, feel,… the list goes on)
A truly awesome ‘how to guide’ with stylish illustration, humour, the right amount of advice & top tips to set you on your way to create an ‘Awesome Robot’
Bryn was instantly attracted to the book, he was even able to read some of the pages himself which was great to see. The book provided lots of inspiration & he was brimming with ideas of the type of robot he wanted to make.
One of my favourite pages of the book is the ‘workshop rules’ especially the advice ‘it is every engineer’s right to do things badly while working them out!’.
A perfect craft book, in not only providing steps to follow but also helping create the right space and atmosphere for some inspired robot building, as these photos prove.
These are so cool! Hurrah for robots!
What an awesome blog post! I love the idea of this and it’s been on the wishlist for a while. I think my only worry is that you might have to destroy the book in order to get the best out of it (are the stickers easily removable etc?) – We’re probably a bit over-protective of our books so if it’s possible to keep it mint and still enjoy it, we’ll be even more keen!
