ARNO AND THE MINI-MACHINE
A prescient and humorous tale of a boy's futuristic life gone haywire
with the interruption of . . . nature.
Two hundred years in the future Arno's pre-programmed, machine-controlled
day takes an unexpected turn when he discovers a bird. Arno wakes each morning when his personalized "mini-machine" tells him it's time. The mini-machine squawks at him all day: Eat your Instant Mealtime, Wait for the school jet, Go to your electric tuba lesson, Do not step off the Power Path...
But Arno's curiosity and a little yellow bird lead Arno off his pre-programmed track. "Go Back to Your Class!" squawks the mini-machine with increasing frustration. Arno's waywardness and inability to follow directions will delight young readers. And Seymour Chwast's unique illustrations, his Seuss-like mechanical inventions are both charmingly old-fashioned and presciently futuristic. A gentle corrective to our infatuation with electronics, Arno and the Mini-Machine is a celebration of a child's curiosity and his innate sense of right and wrong. And it is a sweet reminder of the joy and importance of nature.
For ages 4-7 years.
