Doug Unplugged

(4) K-3 Curious about a pigeon on his window sill, Doug, a smart little robot boy, unplugs himself from downloading facts to go out and explore the city; he meets a real little boy and learns about play and the value of real experiences. Though some elements of the story are contrived, both the stylish, retro-looking illustrations and the enduring message are nicely understated.
