Bernard the Robot loses his bottom on the park swing, and sets off to find it.

Every time he gets close, it disappears again! Bird was using it as a nest, but it was too heavy; Bear used it in his drum kit, but it was too tinny; the Squirrels built sandcastles with it…and now it looks as if they’re sailing away in it.

Will Bernard EVER get his bottom back? This fabulous book will have kids – big and small – laughing every time.

No-Bot the Robot with No Bottom, written by Sue Hendra, is a brand new release from Simon & Schuster.

Available in paperback where all good books are sold for $14.99.  Also available as an ebook for $11.99.

  • Thumbs up from hubby!

    I have to write another review for hubby. He read No-bot to the kids for the first time yesterday afternoon. I have to point out that hubby does not like to read at all. Books, instruction manuals, nothing. I'm thrilled to say he thoroughly enjoyed reading No-bot!! It was so good to hear him and the kids laughing together, I think it was a fantastic bonding experience for them. I would definitely recommend all the mummies out there to get their partner's to read this to their children!

  • Has a permanent place in my bookcase!

    After reading all the wonderful reviews on here I had to get this book for my kids. I'm pleased to say they absolutely love it. I almost know it off by heart already, I have read it that many times! It has a fantastic story line which keeps the kids amused from start to finish, with lots of giggles along the way! The illustrations are colourful and entertaining and they can spend ages just studying the pictures. No-bot has fast become a new favourite in my house and will have a place in my bookcase for many years to come. I would definitely recommend to anyone.

  • Entertaining

    I found this to be a big hit with my two boys. We borrowed a copy from a friend who found it in a bookstore and her children also enjoyed it immensely. The story uses clear, simple language and the colorful simple picture design actively engages young listeners. The boys were easily drawn into the story and their attention engaged until the end.

    My 3 year old son has finally gotten into sitting down and reading a book with me and he was very happy with this particular book. He loves it. Its cute, its funny and it's easy to get him involved in the story. It's definitely a favourite at our house and I highly recommend it to other families who want a bit of a silly giggle!

  • Awesome book

    This is a fantastic book, I have just hired it from the local library this morning and have already read it to the kids 3 times. We all had a good giggle while reading it. I will definitely be going to buy this book next time I am out at the main shops.

  • Love it...

    So it's now funny and acceptable to talk about bottoms in our house! Lovely illustrations, rhyming and story. The girls ask for this book to be read all the time (and the adults are happy to do so). I'd definitely recommend this to others and will look for more books by the author.

  • Fantastic

    My little Miss loved it. She thought it was funny that he just forgot about his bottom at the park as she has left things at the park also. I also liked the way little Miss commented about how every one who tried to use it, then helped as best they could to let No - Bot know where it may be. She has taken it to her teacher from last year to read to the new Kindy Kids.

  • Seriously Hilarious

    My two granddaughters were in hysterics about the robot loosing his bottom. The story is wonderfully funny with such a little journey. The illustrations are too cute and very bright with colouring that the girls loved to point at the different things on the pages.

    It's a book that you can read over and over again and even i don't mind it. It's a very very good story!!!

  • 2nd Review same opinion - Fabulous book!

    This is my second review for the book - "No-Bot, The Robot with no bottom" by Sue Hendra.

    WOW! What an amazing hit this book has been with my 3 children. Who would have thought a little red Robot that goes on a mission to find his lost bottom to be so entertaining for all (even my husband!)

    My 3 year old daughter is particularly drawn to the bright colourful illustrations, my 7 year old son enjoys reading the book by himself (well apart from the Robots name of Bernard he gets a little tongue tide over that) and thoroughly enjoyed the story and my 10 year daughter old finds the need to read it to my 3 year old again and again (just an excuse I think)

    Once again the text is basic the illustrations are bright and the characters are all "friendly and welcoming" the story keeps the children turning the pages without getting bored.

    I would highly recommend this book to anyone with children especially for preschool aged children.

  • A great book!

    We've really enjoyed reading No-Bot the Robot with No Bottom, written by Sue Hendra over and over again. It's pictures are bright, glossy and filled with lots of colour to capture the attention and imagination of littlies. The story itself is fun as you go looking for No-bot's bottom. Lots of fun and laughter.

  • A BOOK THAT YOU CAN READ TO YOUR KIDS MANY TIMES OVER & OVER

    I received this book review last year and i must say my daughter still picks to read it @ bed time :) We both have a laugh @ the end suitable for all ages & great to read together @ any time or place. We have a big library @ home reading can teach a child many things & its great to start @ an early age. I always tell my daughter to read aloud the best thing you can tell a child to do. Happy reading :) PS even our Dog Gizmo enjoys listening to us read :)

  • No-bot the robot

    I decided to purchase this book after reding the reviews & have read this on many occasions to my nephews who are very much into bottoms & robots. Very funny, lots of giggles are had, it has not lost it's appeal, it's the first book they both go for especially the older one :)

  • How clever of Hendra to put 'bottom' into the title of a children's picture book! I predict children who are not fluent readers will be able to decode 'bottom' in a second and grab it off the library or bookstore shelf. Luckily, parents and teachers can rest easy that there is nothing in the story's content to be worried about.

    The illustrations are perfect for the under-five set: large, clear and brightly coloured. Kids will enjoy looking for Bernard the No-Bot's bottom throughout the tale. They'll be encouraged to look for shapes in their environment too, and rejoice with Bernard and his friends when that elusive bottom is found.

    This book is very cute, Its a little short but my daughter loved it, I thought it was cute all the things they used his bottom for!

    I can relate to the feeling of your bottom being \stuck in a swing!

    I would have to say that I would be very happy myself if my bottom happened to fall off!

    After reading other reviews I decided to purchase this book. I have read it , on more than one occasion, to a class of 24 7 year olds. It is often the children's pick for the story of the day.It does not lose its appeal after re-reading. I love it and the kids love it.

  • A cute yet funny story all young kids will love

    I originally read this book at the local library to my nephew, he loved it that much that I went and bought it for him

    the story is very funny and entertaining, he loves it so much he now can tell himself the story.

    I have purchased it since for a friends little girl, and she too loved it, both my nephew and friends little girl were 3 when they first heard it.

    Plus what kid doesn't want an excuse to talk about bottoms!!

    We had this one at playgroup. The kids lost interest after a little while ( but that is the age they are at) Normally when this happens whomever is reading stops - there was general demand from the other Mums to hear the end of the story! Must get a copy for when she is a little older

    When I opened the package my 3yr old wanted to read it straight away....I'm glad we did as she hasn't put it down since. My husband and I look forward to bedtime reading just as much as she does and this book is great for big kids like us as it is for the little ones. The colourful illustrations are great and compliment the book well. A must read!

  • Yep I’ve been a member of purkle for years but don’t get much these days on it to be honest compared to what I used to het

    Reply

  • Thank you for sharing this. I hadn’t hear of Purkle! Being a single mum and only working part time means every extra dollar is handy. I enjoy doing surveys and reviews in my downtime anyway, so I might as well earn while doing it! I’ve just joined, so hopefully it will be a good experience.

  • Tried it before and it’s definitely one of the better companies to do surveys with. They make it so easy, the website is easy to navigate and the surveys are generally not too long. It’s easy to do whilst on the couch or filling in time! Definitely worth checking out to earn some extra cash.

    Reply

  • Purkle is fun! Not a lot to earn from but if you like filling up surveys or voicing ypir opinions, it is definitely worth a try. Sometimes there are survey on music which are the most fun ones and also, these are the ones that reward the most. Not bad to earn a gift card or 2 in a year!

    Reply

  • I love Purkle. While the surveys don’t award massive sums, the surveys themselves are never long. Other platforms want a minimum of 10 minutes which can be hard to commit to during day time chaos. It doesn’t take long to accumulate a decent sum, and I use gift cards as a way to treat myself. They can be redeemed for grocery gift cards. I’ve cashed out over $200 in a year and a half. Give it a go!

    Reply

  • I’ve been with Purkle for a few years now. One of my favourite survey and money earning platforms. Easy to build up a balance and redeem your earnings. Love sitting down and completing my purkle surveys, to see balance grow. I use this to treat myself or put towards presents for Christmas

    Reply

  • I’m not having any luck with purkle. I tried to sign up for it and it just wasn’t working so I emailed them and didn’t hear back, I just tried again now and managed to create an account but then the activation email contained no link to click and actually activate my account. From the comments here it looks like I’m not missing anything anyway

    Reply

  • I’ve earnt a bit through Purkle and other survey sites. They are great passive income. I don’t mind that Purkle pays in gift cards as it provides a great opportunity for me to buy something for myself as opposed to putting cash away for expenses. But cash is always good!

    Reply

  • Surveys have been great to keep me awake while feeding my newborn at night but I agree with some of the comments that the time commitment is too high for the benefit. I do not believe i will continue using it once baby starts to sleep through and get through feeds quicker.

    Reply

  • I tried Purkle for approx 1 year and quite frankly it’s really not worth your time
    Very few surveys and very low amounts paid
    Worst thing is it only pays in gift cards so no cash
    I gave up and just stuck with my original survey site that I’ve been using for years
    It makes me $120 average in PayPal a week without too much effort and supplies the family with an annual holiday without touching the household budget

    Reply

  • It’s a shame I’m already a member and can’t enter the competition. Surveys in general – including Purkle – can be a good way to earn some money, but just remember you won’t earn much from any one survey. It does add up over time though, and isn’t particularly difficult to do.

    Reply

  • This is a nice way to earn a bit extra money but you won’t earn a lot. Some surveys time out too which is annoying or hey just stop working half way through. If you have spare time and want to do it then why not. I sometimes do these on the train on my way to work and it slowly builds up to allow you to get a reward. It all helps.

    Reply

  • I joined Purkle ages ago but to be honest I have never used it and totally forgot that I joined let alone that I could be earning money and points while being at home. Any opportunity to make some money and try to help financially, off I go to rejoin I think!

    Reply

  • I have joined up and hope to gain some bonuses. I realise it won’t be a lot but it’s good to know from genuine people on here that have been part of purkle that it is a real site. So many scams out there so good to know this isn’t one of them.

    Reply

  • Purkle is a great surveys site. I’ve redeemed vouchers from there. You’re not going to make a fortune from it but you do definitely earn for your time. I haven’t done any for a while as I just haven’t had rhe time but I’ll definitely get back into it. The vouchers always come in handy.

    Reply

  • The inner sceptic in me will prevent me signing up! I’m not against a survey, however I would rather do one here and there when I can with the incentive of winning something big! Even a $100 voucher. At the rate I win, it works out better than signing up for this.
