Peter Brown writes and illustrates books for young whippersnappers. He grew up in Hopewell, New Jersey, where he spent his time imagining and drawing silly characters.

After college Peter moved to Brooklyn, New York and spent several years painting backgrounds for animated TV shows. And then in 2003 he got a book deal to write and illustrate his first picture book FLIGHT OF THE DODO, which is a story that involves bird poop...in case you're into that kind of thing. Since then he's written and illustrated three more picture books, and illustrated several other books for young whippersnappers. His books have been adapted into plays and animated short films, they have been translated into a dozen languages, and they include the 2010 E.B. White award winner, Children's Choice Award winner, and New York Times bestselling books THE CURIOUS GARDEN.

His books CHILDREN MAKE TERRIBLE PETS, YOU WILL BE MY FRIEND! and his latest book, CREEPY CARROTS! are also New York Times bestsellers and award winners. CREEPY CARROTS! written by Aaron Reynolds has also been named a 2013 Caldecott Honor book.

she learned to love it and when she read The Wild Robot last ...

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

This review is on behalf of my youngest(7). After struggling with reading early on, she learned to love it and when she read The Wild Robot last year, it became her favorite book. This has been her first experience of anticipating a sequel and it lived up to her expectations in every way. She really enjoyed following Roz and Brightbill from accidental beginning to triumphant end(?), and we had an interesting conversation centered around this book about what makes you you and how portable that might be. After staying up late to finish the sequel and then talk my ear off about it, she locked the two books in a special case usually reserved for dolls to protect them from any kind of threat.

I'm not sure there's a star rating for that, but you get the picture.

Perfect sequel to the Wild Robot, excellent for readers of ALL ages!

Reviewed in the United States on August 8, 2018

I read the Wild Robot to my third graders last fall as our just-for-fun read aloud novel. They were enthralled and crushed when the book came to an end. When I found out the sequel was coming out in just three months my students were so excited and could hardly wait for its publication. Several of them even asked their parents to buy it for them so they wouldn't have to wait as we read it slowly together. This sequel was the perfect end to Roz's story and I loved it (at 34!) just as much as my 8 and 9 year old students did. Plus, Peter Brown has some great information on his website about the writing process that went into the original Wild Robot that I read aloud to my students and they also loved. Mr. Brown is a gifted author and these novels are completely original in my opinion. The short chapter lengths make them perfect to read at the end of the day in my classroom or to children before bed a night, as they are easy to read for 5 minutes or 30 minutes at a time. Would highly recommend to readers of ALL ages.

A book FULL of “filled with heart and soul and action and science and even a little philosophy.” 💜

My class couldn’t wait for the release of The Wild Robot Escapes! When the box arrived with 2 copies of the book 2 days before its original release date, the loudest cheer you can imagine erupted! We were to be reunited with Roz and Brightbill!!

While I’ve not finished reading it aloud to my class, I just finished it and the first thing I wanted to do was write a review. This book, while mostly about a robot and her adopted goose sun, covers every human emotion and every step of the journeys heroes take! In the Note About the Story at the end, Peter Brown explains that his goal was to write a sequel “filled with heart and soul and action and science and even a little philosophy.”

And, Peter Brown, you did this in your unique way! Thank you for bringing Roz (back) into our lives!

This sequel is worth the wait!

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2018

The Wild Robot was my fifth grade class's favorite book of 2016....by far. That book was accessible for middle grade students and deceptively thought-provoking. Those same students (and a whole new crop of fifth graders this year) have been eagerly awaiting this sequel....for months, as Peter Brown finished writing Roz's story. The Wild Robot Escapes is worth the wait. Once again Peter Brown has written a charming little book about a robot that will appeal to all kids in this middle grade age category. But also, once again, this book is so much more than just a robot story. It's an action-packed, heartwarming tale about family, home and belonging. Peter Brown's illustrations are just icing on the cake! My fifth graders will eat it up!

Must Read!

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

My 3rd grade class loved the first book, which I read to them in the fall. As a Waldorf teacher, I was impressed by the perfect reflection the Wild Robot was of the developmental experience of the 8 or 9 year old (we call it "the 9 year change" - when children have a new awareness of their place on earth and their need to be able to take care of themselves). I pre-ordered the second book and I was so thrilled that Roz the robot was now living and working on a farm. Again, the theme of learning to take care of yourself (by growing and harvesting food, caring for animals, repairing and building things) was so present and perfect for the 9 year old.
Could Peter Brown be a Waldorf teacher?

Grandkids LOVE this book!

Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2021

Got for: 12 years oldDifficulty level: ModerateVerified Purchase

I bought the first Robot book to read to my grandkids (ages 8, 10 & 12) at bedtime. The 12 year old is “too old to be read to” but he loved that book, and all three (2 boys and a girl) were sad when it was over. I had to order the sequel and it did not disappoint. The story line has a good blend of futuristic without being technical and real life circumstances along with a bit of fantasy. And a good moral as well about the importance of family.
The second book wraps up some loose ends in the plot nicely with more adventures. We can’t wait for #3! (Please let there be a third book).

Reading is my ESCAPE from Reality!

Another quirky & fun adventure with Roz

Reviewed in the United States on June 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

At the end of the first book, Roz is taken away from her island home and brought back to the factory. She is reactivated at Hilltop farm to work for the Shreef family. As much as she enjoys her new home (kids, cows, etc.), Roz misses Brightbill and all her friends on the island. Will she be able to keep her secret? And will she ever make it back to her island home?

This is a great follow up and just as quirky and fun as the first one. I read this to my book club at school. The kids liked the first book better, but they did enjoy this one. It took a while to get going, but the end is worth it.

Recommended to: 3rd-5th graders who like quirky stories with talking animals

A must have book!

Got for: 10 years oldDifficulty level: ModerateVerified Purchase

I'm struggling to find "the book" my son will love. We received The Wild Robot for Christmas and he was hooked. He read aloud to me and we couldn't get enough of Roz. We were kind of sad when it came to an end, but to my surprise, The Wild Robot Escapes was out! We instantly ordered. We couldn't put it down. He was so eager to to do his nightly reading without being hounded. That was a milestone as a Mom. It's such a well written book for everyone. Every chapter leaving you hanging, looking forward to see what Roz was going to do next. And wait till you meet her son!! Such a great read. Don't skip this read. My son is 10, was a perfect read for him.

Not as good as the first one, but still good to read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2020

At the end of the previous book, Roz the robot has to leave the island for repairs. After she is repaired, she is delivered to a farm. The owner, Mr Shareef shows her around and tells her the things she needs to do. Roz quickly makes friends with Jaya and Jad, Mr Shareef's children. She also forms friendships with the cows and protects them from wolves. Her son Brightbill arrives on his way to the annual migration. The children see the reunion and at first Roz thinks they will tell on her, but instead they help her think of a way to escape. When Brightbill returns in the spring, she escapes with him. The encounter all sorts of danger, including wolves, a wild goat, hailstones, hunters, airships and a difficult journey across sea but none of those manage to destroy her. After all that, Roz separates from Brightbill so she can get on a train to be driven to the city. She encounters Recos 4, 5, and 6 and leads them through an epic chase through the city. When it is all over Dr Molovo, her creator, meets her. After a brief explanation Roz's mind is moved to a new body. Dr Molovo gives her and Brightbill a lift back to the island. I didn't have a favourite part in the book, but it was quite good to read. I read both of the Wild Robot books but I prefer the first one because it's more exciting. All of the action in this book happens at the end and when it's over it's finished too quickly for my liking. The earlier parts are about Roz and the children but in my opinion they're not as good as the action bits with the Recos. Still, I quite enjoyed reading this book.

Roz is back with her cleverness, her need to get home and her charm. I remember vividly how much I loved her from book 1 and book 2 is no exception. I love how these books are written. They’re like a friend - they make you smile and they’re like a hug! I could read about Roz forever.

Roz, the robot who learned to be wild, is now forced to go back to civilisation, but she wants to go back to her island. The Wild Robot books are very easy to read and the style is hugely enjoyable.
We are just sorry there isn't any more Wild Robot books!
