When an inquisitive robot named Raybot begins to explore Earth, he knows he is supposed to find the thing that goes "bark."

Children will relate to Raybot's wonder as he discovers new sounds and animals in the world, and adults will appreciate the detail and beauty in the hand-painted illustrations.
