In our May/June 2016 issue, our editors asked Peter Brown about thematic similarities between his 2014 BGHB Picture Book Award–winning picture book Mr. Tiger Goes Wild and his new sci-fi Robinsonade The Wild Robot.

Do you think of them as taking place in the same universe or different ones?
Peter Brown: Unlike Mr. Tiger, Roz lives in our universe. Her story takes place on Earth, far in the future, at a time when intelligent robots are commonplace in human society. But I wasn’t interested in telling the story of a robot interacting with humans, or with other robots; I wanted to tell the story of a robot stranded in the wilderness.
From the May/June 2016 issue of The Horn Book Magazine.
