‘Cats vs. Robots’ by Margaret Stohl

Book cover, Cats vs. Robots, This is War, by Margaret Stohl and Lewis Peterson. Image depicts two cats, positioned above the title letters, looking down at a robot that's beneath the lettering. The robot brandishes claw-like appendages and glares at the cats.
Learned this morning in an email that I’d won a Goodreads Giveaway of Margaret Stohl and Lewis Peterson’s Cats vs. Robots #1, This is War.

My initial impression of this book, when I enrolled in the giveaway, was that it combined my favorite animal, the cat, with an application of STEAM principles (That’s Sciences, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics. As I understand it, educators incorporate STEAM in education to prepare children to live and work in an increasingly technological society.)

Well, my intention with any children’s book giveaway that I won was to place the book, once I'd read it, into my school library. And for its emphasis on STEAM, plus seeming a really fun read, I thought this book would be an especially good fit. I’m looking forward to receiving this book and, most especially, to reading it.
