Part of the refreshing Rita Wants series that sees a relatable, imaginative little girl think through and figure out some of life’s problems for herself, Rita Wants a Robot is wonderful to read-aloud, with Márie Zepf’s story boasting fabulous pace, and Mr Ando’s illustrations delivering a blast of boldness and textured detail.
Facing with the problem of having a messy bedroom, Rita comes up with a solution. Surely having a “super-sorting robot” will fix things. Every time Rita makes a mess, mess, mess, the robot could simply sort, sort, sort! But then she gets to thinking - what if the robot didn’t know when to leave well alone? And so Rita re-thinks her idea and realises she’d be better off handling things herself.
Alongside taking readers on Rita’s lively story journey, the book invites valuable interaction and discussion - would you like a robot? What do you think would happen if you had one? How would you handle a robot who didn’t know when to stop? Fun and thought-provoking stuff.
Taken from the English edition, Rita Wants a Robot.

About her series, Máire said, ‘Rita is a little girl with VERY big ideas. She has lots of adventures coming up in which she dreams up fantastical solutions to ordinary problems, often with hilarious results! Each book is based around a different character and centres on a new theme. There will be robots and dragons, ninjas, genies and a fairy godmother who will help her explore notions from fairness and order to the genderisation of clothing and emotional regulation.’
