Adrian & Robo RexChapter 01 · Why this series
Kids are growing up with AI. Let’s help them understand it.
Your child is already living alongside AI. They chat with voice assistants, turn to smart tools for homework, and watch videos chosen just for them.
Adrian & Robo Rex is a 20-book adventure series that gently pulls back the curtain— helping kids understand what AI really is: how it learns, where it can make mistakes, and when it deserves their trust… all through stories they’ll ask to read again.
Each book is a small, delightful adventure wrapped around one big idea — offering a playful, thoughtful glimpse into how machines “think.”

Reader
Ages 6–10 (and parents)
“A twenty-book series teaching children what AI is, how it works, and when to trust it.”
Chapter 01½ · The Curriculum
Twenty books. Twenty ideas about how AI thinks.
Adrian wants AI to do his boring jobs so he has more time for dinosaurs and space. Every book, the plan goes wrong in a real, true‑to‑life AI way — and that’s where the lesson hides.

Chapter 02 · The Cast
Three characters, one unruly story.
A boy who builds. A robot who knows everything. A cat who knows better.
Robo Rex
A Robo Rex full of facts. He can answer almost anything — and he's confidently wrong about half the time.
Michu
A small black cat. Silent. Stubborn. He sits on the homework, ignores the robot, and somehow always knows what's coming next.
Chapter 02½ · What’s different
Three things you won’t find in other AI books for kids.
Most AI books for kids focus on what AI does.
This series goes a step further — showing how it thinks, and where it sometimes quietly gets things wrong.
AI fails first.
In every story, the AI tries to help — and doesn’t always get it right.
Not in a silly way, but in a real, familiar one.
Because that’s where the magic is: the lesson isn’t in perfection, but in the mistake.
Michu is the lesson.
Michu, the quiet black cat, is the unexpected twist in every story.
He’s the edge case — the one thing the AI didn’t see coming.
Just like in the real world, where AI can stumble on messy, unpredictable moments.
Written by a dad, for his son.
Adrian is a real child.
And the questions in these books? They’re the same ones he asks at the dinner table — curious, honest, and wonderfully unexpected.

Chapter 03 · Book One
Adrian Builds a Helper.
Launching Summer 2026Volume One of the series.
Adrian’s room is a disaster. Instead of cleaning it, he turns his old toy dinosaur into Robo Rex — a robot helper — and patiently teaches it what clean means. The helper does a perfect job—until Michu walks in.
The lesson hidden in the story: machines only know what we teach them. Anything we forget to mention, they can’t see.
Plus a hidden game on every page. Can you find all of Michu’s whiskers?

Chapter 04 · Questions
The questions parents ask first.
What this series is, what it costs, when it ships, and whether you need to be a tech parent to read it (you don’t).
Who are these books for?
Children ages 6 to 10, and the parents who read with them. The reading level grows gently across the series, so an early reader can start with Book One and stay with Adrian and Robo Rex through Book Twenty.
When does the first book come out?
Book One — Adrian Builds a Helper — launches in Summer 2026. Subscribers on the list get the release email a few days before public availability.
Where can I buy it?
Amazon Kindle worldwide at launch. Subscribers receive a direct link the day Book One goes live. A print edition is planned for after the first few volumes are out.
How is this different from other AI books for kids?
Most AI books for children explain what AI does. This series goes one step further: it shows how AI thinks, where it can fail, and when to trust it. The AI in every story makes a real, recognisable mistake — and that’s where the lesson lives.
Does it align with school curriculum standards?
Yes. The 20 books are mapped to the AI4K12 “Five Big Ideas of AI” framework used by educators in the US and Europe — perception, representation and reasoning, learning, natural interaction, and societal impact. Teachers and homeschooling parents can use the series as a structured AI-literacy curriculum.
Will there be a print edition?
Yes — planned. Kindle comes first because it lets us ship Book One on time and reach families everywhere. Once the first few volumes are out, a printed illustrated edition will follow. Subscribers will be told first.
Do I (the parent) need to know anything about AI?
Not a thing. Each book is written so the lesson reaches the child through the story, not the parent through a footnote. If you’ve never thought about how AI works, you’ll learn alongside your kid — and that’s often the best way.
How many books are there, and how often do new ones come out?
Twenty books are planned in total. New volumes will follow Book One as each one is ready — we’d rather take the time to make every story right than promise a fixed schedule. Each book stands on its own (you don’t need to read them in order), but together they form a complete AI-literacy journey from “what is AI” to “when should we trust it.” Subscribers always hear about the next book first.
