So, I was surfing the internet and I found this description of a children's book that sounds surprisingly like the movie Wall*E. It's about a robot named Snoot:
The Saddest Little Robot. Gage, B. Red Rattle Books, 2004. 103 pp. $16.95. ISBN 1-932360-05-0.
A sad little robot named Snoot, is forced to serve in the cylinder that powers the light source found within Dome City. Snoot is a sad Drudgebot, because he is smaller and designed differently then the other Drudgebots; he also feels he holds no importance to Dome City, unlike the other Drudgebots. Snoot is often made fun of by his peers because of his apparent differences, which cause’s him to daydream and not produce enough computations needed. Snoots curiosity of what is outside of Dome City leads him into trouble with the Guardbots. Through Snoot’s curiosity of what’s outside Dome City, he develops new friendships and discovers his importance.
The illustrations in this book help to bring alive the robots and they express how Snoot sees everything outside of Dome City. The illustrations also get the reader excited about upcoming events that are about to occur within the story. I really enjoyed this book; I found it to be very interesting and I feel that it portrays a great concept that children can learn and do things on their own, if we offer them the appropriate opportunities. Overall, this is a great story that encourages students to go out explore and discover their paths. (AJS)
Is there any chance that this is related to Wall*E's origins?
