This book was another yard sale find from my elementary school days. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful - it's the story of a boy who decides to make some "tin men" to help him with his work, and all that follows.
Remarkably, the author managed to make it sound exciting and ingenious, without overstating what each of the robots could do. (I don't know if it would have been possible with the technology when the book was written, but most of it would be now.) Just the book to inspire an interest in mechanics, electronics, building, and innovation. Well-written and delightful. Good enough to read aloud.
The library doesn't have it, could we borrow yours? I think Westley would enjoy this.
