I Am Not A Tin Can! Av Barroux

When a robot asks a boy, ''Can we be friends?'' the boy replies, ''I don''t think so. You''re a tin can.'' The robot disagrees. After all, the robot can play music! Do maths! Bake a cake! But the robot has no brain, the boy insists, and no heart. So surely it is a tin can. Is there anything the robot can do to change the boy''s mind? To prove it''s more than a piece of metal? This whimsical story considers what it takes to be like someone else. And, more important, what it takes to be a friend.
