More reviews from parents, teachers, librarians, and book lovers!

My son enjoyed reading this story with me. He loves animals, so he liked that the characters were animals. He likes playing video games, so he was very interested in the video game competition. My son is also into technology, so the robot that could do the chores was very fascinating for him.  I liked the lessons being taught in the book.

"This is an inventive story about a Beaver named Bronson and his adventures with his friends and family. The story emphasizes many positive values for children (hard work, determination, grit, friendship, responsibility, and more). I really appreciated the illustrations in this novel which add to the uniqueness of the story."
– Jessica, 5th Grade Teacher/ Children's STEM Author
"My daughter and I had so much fun reading Bronson Beaver Builds a Robot together!
This book has great lessons about honesty and responsibility while also incorporating science and STEM elements. The characters were so fun and the story was fast paced and exciting. Overall it was a great read! 5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!"
– Christie S.
"Regardless of a child’s grade level, STEM continues to be such a huge component. STEM allows students to be challenged while expressing their creativity and ability to step outside the box. This book is so unique in that it combines all the incredible elements that STEM brings with the main character. I have not seen many books that focus around STEM so it’s so great to read this one!!"
– Kristen (Amazon 5-star Review)
"This book was perfect for our invention unit we’re working on right now! We’re also big Wild Robot fans so my students love anything involving robots. There’s a great problem & solution in this book along with some pretty funny parts. The illustrations are great and the big print is popular with 3rd graders."
– Allie, 3rd Grade Teacher
"Is it just me or is Bronson Beaver Builds a Robot the best title ever? It’s in the beginner chapter book range with occasional pictures and short chapters so he could have read it independently, but we’re always looking for read alouds too and this worked out great. Bronson Beaver is an inventor and a video game player - so already we’re off to a good start capturing my son’s interest. The characters and the love of inventing were a big hit with my son so hopefully there are more of these to come." 🤖
– Ryan, Dad Suggests Blog
Integrity! Honesty! Hard Work!
"This is a lovely read that promotes the traits of integrity, honesty, and hard work. Bronson attempts to ditch his own work by building a robot to do it for him but unwittingly creates more difficulties for himself in the process!"
Megan, 1st Grade Teacher (Amazon 5-Star Review)
"My 6yo LOVED this story. I loved that the style of writing is so descriptive, it helps to really paint the pictures in your head as you read along! Out of the mouth of my 6yo: “I loved the robot! I thought it was so funny that the robot messed up it’s job because it wasn’t programmed to read!” Seriously, J was laughing as he said that to me. He really enjoyed this book, and loved the pictures in the book, too. I know it is one we will read again!"
– Becca, Homeschooler
"This is a great and easy-to-read book about the importance of honesty and responsibilities, about friendship and hard work. The story has lovely illustrations and catchy language; lots of great descriptions of nature and the surrounding environment; and the names of the characters are alliterations, which makes them memorable. It's a quick chapter book with fast pace events. It keeps children engaged throughout their reading time. The book could also inspire young inventors with its great motto: "Be brave. Be productive. Be helpful".
– Esma, Par-a-Lab STEAM Educational Company 
This book was so fun to read to my students! It was so relatable because the main character had to choose between playing video games or helping his parents with their annual pancake breakfast. It is such a sweet story and I highly recommend it.
​– Holly, 3rd Grade Teacher
"The super fun Bronson Beaver Builds a Robot is a very creative story about a kid who understands that he has responsibilities, but also knows that he wants to win a gaming competition with his best friends. Love how this showed teamwork, peer pressure, a love of gaming, ingenuity, responsibilities, family, and friends. A great book for 7-12 year olds with a fun STEM theme."
– Michelle, Children's Book Review / Blogger 
"Bronson Beaver Builds a Robot by Teko Bernard is a fun summer read for 1st-4th graders 🌞Something about this book makes me want to read it in a hammock while drinking lemonade! It is creative, funny, and a perfect story for summer vacation."
– Jessica, 5th Grade Teacher
"My son and I loved this book! Not only did I love the messages of hard work, responsibility, and friendship, but as a teacher (and mom) there were so many fun STEM activities to connect to  this read aloud for elementary aged kids!"
– Jena, 4th Grade Teacher 
"It was a wonderful combo of problem solving and mystery and STEM thinking that my kids thought was really great. It also has really good themes of friendship and responsibility that kids can really relate to. It was the perfect level for my 2nd grade reader with bigger font and shorter chapters, but it also works as a great read aloud."
– Juli, 2nd Grade Teacher
"This middle grade bridge book, with fun and engaging black and white illustrations throughout, will appeal to both STEM fans and those new to the wondrous world. Really enjoyed it and can't wait to share with students!"
– Andrea, 5th Grade Teacher/Librarian
"Highly engaging and accessible book for middle grade students. I loved the message and plot as well as the vocabulary and sentence structure — great exposure for kids. I read this with my third grade niece who couldn’t put it down. Definitely one to keep in the library!"
– Emily, Middle Grade Reading Specialist (Amazon 5-Star Review)
"A Great Middle Grade Book! Bronson Beaver was a great addition to my third grade classroom library. The kids who read it said they really enjoyed it!"

"This is a great story for the gamer/techs kid. But this also teaches you a lesson of honesty and hard work. I know my son has enjoyed this book!! He enjoy the characters in the novel and the tech aspect!"
-Cara Marie, BookShelfMomma
"This story can serve as a comfort read to go back to every now and then, like how most middle grade books tend to be. Bronson learns about priorities and responsibility—two valuable lessons for the reading target of this book. Furthermore, it brushes on the importance of family, tradition, and friendship."
