🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Jarrett Lerner
Ken is surprised to find an enormous box outside his house. At first, he assumes it is something his grandfather wants him to construct, what with all the metal pieces in the box. A quick call to his friend Dan helps him figure out what the box contains. Determined to put the robot together, Ken and Dan rush to look for Ken’s dog. When they get back, another surprise awaits them. The robot has already put itself together, and it is hungry, starving. The robot demands comestibles, and the boys are all happy to give it what it wants. The only problem is that the robots empties its midsection fast and keeps on demanding a refill. Ken is struggling to keep up, and he is sure that soon enough, there is going to be a problem.
