The Boy Who Cried Robots!

A funny comic about Sam, a second grader who tests the limits of belief with robots, monsters, and aliens. In The Boy Who Cried Robots!, Sam exaggerates—claiming a monster ate his homework, a tub full of alligators, and an alien planet named after him. When his tall tales start turning classmates against him, Sam wonders if his stories have gone too far. The humor is lively and accessible, with bold, kid-friendly art by Chris Britt that supports reading comprehension and invites young readers to follow along. The tale echoes the cautionary lesson of The Boy Who Cried Wolf: trust and community matter as much as imagination. This title is part of the I Like to Read Comics series, designed to engage emergent readers through humor, visual storytelling, and accessible sentences. It’s a delightful entry for kids finding confidence in graphic novels.
