Bitty Bot's Big Beach Getaway - Hardcover

by Tim McCanna (Author), Tad Carpenter (Illustrator)

"A delightful sea-quel." --Kirkus Reviews

The world's cutest robot goes on a rhyming, deep-sea adventure with two new friends in this sweet and silly companion to Bitty Bot.

Fish and coral. Crabs and snails.
Stingrays, turtles, sharks, and whales.
Giant squid! A sunken ship!
"Now we're talking. What a trip!"

Bitty Bot is back--and he is not excited about his family vacation to Botco Bay. Luckily, new friends make everything better. Bitty Bot and his new pals build a submarine using supplies they find at the beach:

Bottles, barrels, buggy, bench,
hammer, pliers, socket wrench,

soda cans, a coil of rope,
drainpipe for a periscope.

Off they go on an underwater adventure!
