4 stars
An excellent book, and likely one of the first I will read my kids when they are old enough for non-picture books. The core theme that technology does not need to be in conflict with nature, to a backdrop that both subtly and not-so-subtly indicates that it broadly has been in conflict, resonates to our current moment, and my own personal ideals.
Although the book veers dangerously into White Savior territory, the layers of allegory make it somewhat more forgivable.
With a charming and distinctive narrative voice and quick pacing, The Wild Robot tells an engaging story, with a cliffhanger ending to lead into the next book. Overall a very good read.
