About This Story

What your child will experience

Your child steps into Robbie's Robot Repair as a helper for the day, making playful choices about what to fix, how to solve problems, and what surprises unfold in this imaginative workshop. The story invites open-ended thinking—there are no "wrong" repairs, only creative possibilities.

Why this approach helps

When children direct the action in a low-stakes setting, they practice decision-making without fear of failure. Over time, stories like this support comfort with trial-and-error and the idea that problems can have many solutions.

What to notice as a parent

How does your child respond to the last repair scenario and to reframing the robot's use? Do they meet it with confusion or do they embrace their imagination? Both are okay; this story exposes your child to answering absurd questions, which can lead to more flexibility.

“At first I thought it was one of those bedtime ploys to stay up later, but when the request came again first thing in the morning I realized it was just genuine excitement about Wanderly. My two kiddos - ages 7 and 8 - had a blast selecting their adventure pals (they have the cutest "pets" that go on the adventure with them) and choosing the direction of the story every step of the way. I turned up the reading level today and it was neat to see my son work through a few new words and stick with it because he was so excited about his story.”

“My son couldn't put the story down!”

“We've been using it every night for bedtime stories for our 3 year old.”

“Ok, so I installed this yesterday, and I've already read 5 stories with my 4 year old. That's over an hours worth of time. Today he tried to negotiate to have me read 4 in a row... He's fully engaged, and takes his time over the choices - I think that and the funny moments in the stories are what have him hooked. He lost it when our cat (yes, you can include your pet in a story!) turned into a elephant. As a parent, it's whimsical and a welcome change from the regular books in rotation. I was initially unsure about using my phone to engage him during bedtime, but he entrallment quickly overcame that. I would wholeheartedly recommend it to others.”

“It's been fantastic for creating and sharing our stories with beautiful art. What a great keepsake!”

“My dyslexic 4th grader struggles with reading and comprehension. She is finally excited to read using Wanderly!”

“As an lifelong educator, I give this app an enthusiastic 5 stars+. With opportunity to choose and name characters, type of story and plot ... what could be more creative? What could be a more productive use of screen time? I love that this app was created and is carefully monitored by a Mom of young kids. She also happens to have technical/AI chops ... she was a Google Product Manager in their Education Products sector. The graphics are quite lovely, the story lines are fun and age-appropriate.”

— Helen

“I'm very impressed with the ease with which I was able to write a fun (and colorful) story. I wrote one for my grandchild and can't wait to share it with her.”
