Books & Goodies
From picture books to printable activities, each title expands the world of The Mixed-Up Robot.
Book 1: The Mixed-Up Robot
Facial Features · Ages 2–8
Mixed-Up has a corrupted database about faces, so he points to his mouth and calls it his nose. Kids become the experts, helping him fix his database one feature at a time, through playful call-and-response learning.
"This is a nose!" "Noooo! That's an EAR!" Interactive fun that turns confusion into learning!
Book 2: Body Parts
Head · Hands · Torso · Feet
Same loop, bigger canvas. Mixed-Up gets body parts wrong (head, hands, torso, feet), expanding the learning scope while keeping the formula families already trust from Book 1.
"This is definitely a knee!" (pointing at an elbow) Help the robot learn his own body!
Book 3: Shapes
Circles · Squares · Triangles
Mixed-Up misidentifies shapes in his world, calling a circle a square or a triangle a rectangle. Kids correct him while building geometric vocabulary for ages 2–8.
"This is a circle!" "No, that's a square!" Help the robot learn shapes!
Book 4: Colors
Red · Blue · Green · Yellow
Mixed-Up thinks the sky is green and the grass is blue. Kids correct him while building color recognition for ages 2–8.
"This is red!" "No, that's blue!" Help the robot learn colors!
About the Series
The Mixed-Up Robot is a playful picture-book series where a lovable bot hilariously mislabels what we see and feel, then learns to put them in the right place. Each story blends rhyme, giggles, and gentle "a-ha!" moments to build early skills: naming facial features, spotting emotions, and practicing curiosity. Designed for ages 2–8, pages stay clean and bold for tiny eyes, with simple prompts so grown-ups can pause, point, and play together.
