Boing-Boing the Bionic CatTM and the Jewel Thief continues the adventures of Daniel, a young boy allergic to cats, and Boing-Boing the Bionic Cat, his amazing, robotic cat made for him by his kindly neighbor Professor George. As a surprise for Daniel, Professor George adds a new ceramic part to the robotic cat he created, giving Boing-Boing the ability to "ROAR" like a lion! What Professor George doesnÂ’t realize is just how important this new feature will be. What excitement awaits the invincible duo, Daniel and his bionic cat, during their trip to the natural history museum? Dinosaurs? Tigers? Whales? A Jewel Thief? During a Saturday afternoon trip to the museum, Daniel and Boing-Boing stumble into an adventure and soon learn that things aren't always as they seem. Professor George, Boing-Boing, and Daniel bring engineering and science to life through the creation of a bionic cat and their exciting adventures and discoveries. This second book in the Boing-Boing the Bionic CatTM series continues to entertain while teaching children about the evolving process of science, the benefits and limits of technology, and the caring and understanding from adult role models.
