This is such a cute book and I can't wait to use it with my grandkids. It will be perfect with our robot unit.I've got two robot kits that can be made and remade, we will read the robot books first.Now if our robot clothes would only arrive!

This is a delightful book that was fun to read.

A robot who is outdated and out of repair finds his place. Should be good for kids who feel like everyone else is better.

I really like the idea of reading stories with robots as main characters, and the art here is not only peculiar in a good way, but it also gives students some neat drawing inspiration. I could see students wanting to take the toaster-head idea to their own art!

The fact that it was an illustration that inspired the writing of this book put a smile on my face. This is the story of an outdated robot looking for companionship in a modern world. It's an enjoyable book about not giving up hope.

DiPucchio has written with such a variety of illustrators! In this case, the illustrations were my favorite thing about the book. The depth of the paintings was amazing.

Oh, my gosh! Who wouldn't want a robot that makes toast and plays polka music at the same time? Apparently a lot of people, as Clink is still sitting on the shelf while the more newfangled robots are heading out the door of the Robot Shoppe to be loved and used by new owners. How can poor Clink stand out from the crowd?This is a sweet story with adorable art by Matthew Myers.

(KidLit ED204 category: science fiction)"Clink" by Kelly DiPucchio and Matthew Myers is the perfect robot book for young listeners and readers! Clink, though, is not the perfect robot. Or so he thinks. All around him, Clink is surrounded by the newest robots that can bake cookies and have retractable arms. All Clink can do is play music and make burnt toast. But then Milton comes into the robot store... And "Plink! Pop! Ping!" Clink is the just right robot for Milton. "Clink" has colorful illust...

Adorable story about an outdated robot that sits on the shelf watching all the new-fangled robots get sold. Kinda like Corduroy. Sweet illustrations

I can't believe I don't know everything by this author! With the Gilbert Goldfish Wants a Pet book that I just read (and LOVED) and now Clink, I had better check out everything else that this author has written!Clink is a robot that isn't as neat as the other new robots in the robot store. He doesn't have retractable arms, fancy attachments, or the ability to help with homework while making chocolate chip cookies. Of course Clink can play music and make toast (if you like slightly burned toast)

Clink lives in a toy robot store. He is looking for just the right someone to love him and appreciate his quirks. Overlooked by folks who want newer and more sophisticated robots, poor Clink finally stops trying. The writing is sweet, humorous and has an upbeat ending. The art goes beyond the text and offers lots of delights (Including Clink's original blueprints on the cover pages!)Clink is a terrific represention of when art and text make a perfect marriage.

clink is at the store but he is so rusty nowone buys him. but one day someone buys him! they become Friends!

This book has "Clink" is appropriate for This book is about an old robot that no one seemed to want. He didn't know how to do all of the things that the new robots could do.

One day, a little boy comes to the shop to look for a robot, and cannot find a robot that he liked. Finally, he saw Clink, and they bonded immediately. "Clink" has amazing illustrations, and is a heartwarming story. Clink...

Poor Clink! Nobody wants an old robot whose rusty, squeaky and loses parts continually. All the newer robots have such cool features: retractable arms and fancy attachments. All Clink can do is play music and make toast. But whenever Clink tries to compete with the other robots, he just ends up looking ridiculous. Slowly, Clink’s friends go home with happy families and “something inside that old robot broke, and he simply switched off his speakers and gave up.” Then, a harmonica-playing boy show...

Clink is a robot that may have been cool at one time, but now his skills aren't desired like the other robots who can bake cookies or come with cool attachments. Eventually he finds the perfect match.This is a really sweet book. I like that Clink is eventually appreciated by someone who shares his interests, which I think teaches kids that it's okay to have different interests. My kids enjoyed reading this and we did several times.

Genre: Science FictionCopyright: 2011This was such a cute book about a robot that is old and so no one wants to buy him until a young boy comes into the store and decides that he is perfect! This was a great book about acceptance and friendships. I would say this book is appropriate for grades k-5. I would use this to teach students that they are all special and perfect the way they are.

My two-year-old son and I loved this book from the first time we read it. Who could help but enjoy a story about a clunky old robot with built in radio and toaster getting shown up by robots that can give haircuts, play baseball and pick up underwear, and bake cookies and do math homework.Sweet and kind and superbly illustrated.
