Recs if you like The Wild Robot Escapes (The Wild Robot 2)...

alternatively: robots and androids murderbot would begrudgingly and unintentionally befriend.

OR

robots and androids who teach us a little more about humanity, friendship, and the human condition. and also sarcasm and sardonic humour, on occasion.

Books where the robot or android or AI (not stupid real life AI) learns how to be human or human-adjacent. That MUST be part of their arc, even if it’s multi-book. (For example, The Monk and the Robot wouldn’t count because Mosscap is so well adjusted already).

Books that I loved reading to my kids and that they loved hearing. Not all read alouds satisfy this criteria. If you're looking for something to read to someone I hope you find something on this list to love.

Books with a thread of environmentalism that are cathartic and (usually) hopeful!

Cozy and fun fantasy reads
