Review for Novo Space Robot: How to Shrink the Doubt Monsters by Charly Froh

 

Novolino, or Novo, for short is a  space robot. In the beginning of the story he explains what happened when "Doubt Monsters" came. They spoiled everything for Novo and his friends because they planted ideas that  discouraged fun, adventures, and curiosity. But Novo escaped the monsters and went to Earth. He noticed children on Earth took action when they doubted their abilites. They tried to accomplish things, even if they were afraid and it built confidence. The Earthlings even welcomed the doubting monsters and helped them learn about believing in themselves.  This book has bright, endearing illustrations. I thought the print was difficult to read in parts of the Kindle version. But the story is well-written and I feel that young children will enjoy it and learn from it.
