But when your child played music, Bolt just stood there, blinking.
What happens in the middle of "The Robot Who Learned to Dance"?
Halfway through the book the adventure turns: Then your child showed Bolt the twist, and a screw popped loose with joy. "Warning," said Bolt, "I appear to be having... fun." They danced past the teapot, which whistled along with the tune.
