In this universal story of friendship, loss, and redemption, a dog and a robot become friends. But their days of friendship are numbered.
This moving, charming graphic novel about a dog and a robot shows us in poignant detail how powerful and fragile relationships are. After a Labor Day jaunt to the beach leaves the robot rusted, immobilized in the sand, the dog must return alone to the life they shared. But the memory of their friendship lingers, and as the seasons pass, the dog tries to fill the emotional void left by the loss of his closest friend, making and losing a series of friends, from a melting snowman to epicurean anteaters. But for the robot, lying rusting on the beach, the only relief from loneliness is in dreams.
This new paperback edition of Robot Dreams by Sara Varon includes new backmatter, including a Q&A with the author, behind-the-scenes sketches, and more.

This book was really sad, but it was kind-of good. If you like sad graphic novels then this is your book, but if you like feeling happy at the end of the book then you shouldn't read this book. And BTW that wasn't a spoiler!
Even though this book doesn't have any words, it explains alot. A dog orders a robot, and that robot is the dogs friend. They then go to the beach. The Robot must stay. He has rusted. The dog feels sad. Later, he gets everything he needs to fix his friend. The beach is then closed for the season. Three rabbits were sailing, but the boat had a hole! They fled to the nearest land, the beach. They saw the robot, then used one of his toes to fix the boat. Meanwhile, the dog seeks new friends. And in the end, the dog and the robot go different paths. This book has interesting pictures that I enjoy.
