And the sandcastle book looks like a great companion to Botley – I’ll be ordering today!

My wife and I just gave Botley to our son for his 5th birthday and he immediately enjoyed programming it – particularly to move the ball around and score a goal. The remote control has the great advantage of not requiring a screen, and makes the transition from a remote control car very intuitive.
