Fuzz and Friends

Rebecca Purcell

Three friends build a robot that runs away to a birthday party with stolen cupcakes.

When Ed, Ava, and Fuzz build a super-duper robot from a kit, they expect it to do amazing things. But when the robot races off with three cupcakes from Cat's birthday party, the friends must chase it down! This charming story celebrates problem-solving, friendship, and focusing on what someone CAN do rather than what they can't—with a delightfully unexpected party ending.
 

  • Perfect for emerging readers
  • Growth Mindset in Action - The story models positive thinking as friends redirect focus to celebrating what the robot CAN do rather than its limitations.
  • STEM Learning Through Play - Readers experience assembling parts and troubleshooting when technology doesn't work as expected, making engineering concepts accessible.
  • Friendship and Problem-Solving - Characters work together through challenges, take responsibility for mistakes, and turn a mishap into a celebration with new friends.
