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.
