In their second adventure, little boy Harry and his stuffed pal Horsie build a robot to help them reach the all-too-distant cookie jar atop the refrigerator. When the robot goes rogue, boy and horse must regain control. The well-paced, gleeful story line is perfectly matched by digital-looking illustrations that evoke Pop Art and retro comics.

Late at night Harry slips out of bed to play with his bubble-making gun. Soon the bubbles carry away items in Harry's room--including his beloved Horsie. Harry travels through space to rescue his stuffed friend. The story is illustrated with pictures reminiscent of Pop Art, which provide excitement that's missing from the text (written by David Letterman's former au pair).
