A girl builds and programs a robot dog in this heartwarming STEM-based picture book perfect for fans of THE MOST MAGNIFICENT THING. Grace can’t have a real dog, so she takes matters into her own hands. She builds a robot dog named Kit! Grace codes him to behave like the perfect dog. Kit follows her instructions perfectly. He rolls over perfectly, every time. He plays fetch perfectly, every single time. But Grace soon discovers that maybe following the rules perfectly doesn’t make the perfect pet . . . Great for aspiring builders and coders, GRACE BUILDS AN ALMOST-PERFECT DOG is a tender tale about the power of friendship and determination.
