Science Comics: Robots & Drones: Past, Present & Future

by Mairghread Scott

Reviewer: LuLu
Genre: Non-Fiction
Recommended Age: 9+

Overall Book Review:

From wildlife, to land masses, to electronics–the publishing house First Second knows the formula for making learning exciting with their original Science Comics series. Science, made fun? How so? Easy does it! The “science” stuff is embedded in a fun and colorful graphic novel, making itself accessible to novices, but still clever enough for an apprised individual.

Science Comics: Robots and Drones: Past, Present, Future holds true to its name as it introduces readers to smart machines from different eras. Starting from 350 BCE, readers along with the book’s unique guide get to explore various places, times, and machines that have culminated in making our lives convenient today. 

Humorous and engaging with full-color panels make this book fun to do, especially for children who want to see science fiction manifested in real life.

About the Reviewer

I appreciate books of all genres, but my main squeeze is fiction. Depending on my mood it could be romance or suspense; lately I’ve been courting fantasy. When I don’t have my nose in a book, I am locating tasty paleo recipes, writing in-coherent poetry, and crafting with paper.
