Oppenheim builds a story around a visit to eight-year-old Theo's house by Albert Einstein, a family friend and "the most famous man alive." When Theo takes Einstein sailing, the great man's compass falls overboard and is subsequently rescued by the accomplished swimmer Theo. Soft colors and shading suit the slightly impressionistic period illustrations of this slim narrative.
