After Cosmo's damaged robot Rex is taken to the asteroid dump, his parents console him with a "Super Solar System Utility Belt." With the belt, Cosmo finds and restores the deranged Rex to his gentle personality--and the belt helps repair Cosmo's relationship with his bossy big sister. This tale matter-of-factly takes place on Mars; the rustic scratchboard paintings conform well to the red-rocked landscape and its space-suited inhabitants.
