"Cosmo and the Robot" By: Brian Pinkney (Science Fiction)


This science fiction adventure is one that contains both a creative storyline, as well as illustrations. It’s about a little boy named Cosmo who lives with his family on Mars. His life is going along as normal until one day his robot best friend, turns into an evil monster who tries to capture his sister. In a suspenseful adventure, Cosmo manages to bravely save his sister and his best friend, bringing life back to normal once again.

After reading this book with my class, I would tell the students to design their own “Super Sonic Space Tool.” I would have them use a graphic organizer of their choice, to brainstorm about the name, function, and description of their tools. After brainstorming, they would them design an advertisement for their tool, as if they were trying to sell it, which should include a creative description and design.
