Phil hates eating his Brussels sprouts, taking baths, and doing his homework. When his mom asks him to finish his vegetables, Phil begins to imagine exactly what it would be like to have a shiny mechanical friend who could do absolutely everything for him! If Phil had a robot, it would take over all his chores. It would eat his greens, scrub behind his ears in the tub, and finish every math problem. No one would ever pick on him again on the playground, and he would be king of the world! This bold and funny fantasy brings to life the ultimate childhood wish. Join Phil as he dreams up a constantly growing list of jobs for his robot to take over. It is a lively, exuberant adventure that shows just how wild your imagination can get when faced with a plate of vegetables.
