After they're caught stealing, Ibis and Jackal are sent by the Cat Pharaoh to retrieve her Jewel Fish from the Crocodile Prince. Of course, things go wrong for these tricksters. Highly detailed illustrations include hieroglyphics that retell the wordy story and contain a hidden code (clues can be found on Base's website).
