Sag and the MacRobot Family

By Russell W. Smith Jr.

This comic book tells of the exploits of a small robot dog, Sag, living with a family of robots at some future time when rockets are common transportation.Some robot characters are:Sag, whose Dash Hound body sags in the middle..Wag, the other dog that has a spring for a tail.Scat, the cat who thought that was its name,Tank, the father who looks like that.Wink, a child whose electronic eyes flicker, andSank, another child who tried o swimThe story involves a series of escapades as Sag and Wag experience them. The illustrations are self explanatory, and the text is excellent as a bed time read-to-me selection. In addition it is valuable throughout the learning to read years as a vocabulary builder.It is excellent for children of all ages who love imaginary adventure stories with characters they are able to identify with, plots that are interesting and humorous, and settings that are unreal yet familiar.If this includes everyone it's intentional. The mother or father reading to the child should not bebored, and the child should be filled with curiosity and questions. To this end we have combined a simple picturestory with a written version that uses adult vocabulary.In the read-to-me stage the need to explain wordmeaning, when asked, increases the interplay, andbond, between parent and child. This interplay will continue as the child begins to read alone and needs help in meaning and pronunciation.In pre-teen and above it's just a funny comic book.
