Vibrant double-page spreads showcase photographs of Wick's carefully composed miniature scenes. A rhymed list encourages readers to hunt for items hidden in each illustration while advancing an odd story line: a time-traveling robot, lost in space, crashes his spaceship in a princess's medieval world; a royal banquet is held, and the robot flies away. Wick's picture-puzzle compositions are as compelling as ever.
