My Brother, the Robot

(4) 4-6 Chip feels threatened when his dad buys a SIMON robot: "the Perfect Son." Simon is tidy and disciplined and beats the pants off everyone else on the swim team. But the boy and robot become friends, and Chip even learns enough discipline to make a good showing at the swim meet. The story arc starts in one direction and finishes in another, but the father-son dynamics are well drawn.
