Illustrated by
Adam McCauley.
Granny sends Robert off on a wacky, anagram-packed quest to find his aunt. (He ends up retrieving a tuna.) The colorful, bold design of the retro-style cartoons intensifies the story's weird-dream vibe; various typefaces and clever scenery signage keep the wordplay front and center. Kids will love finding and authenticating the numerous anagrams on each page.
