William Joyce's "A Day with Wilbur Robinson" is a delightful and visually inventive picture book that introduces readers to the incredibly eccentric Robinson family. When Wilbur's best friend visits, he's immediately swept into a chaotic yet loving home filled with fantastical inventions, unusual pets, and a parade of quirky relatives, all while helping to search for Grandfather Robinson's perpetually missing false teeth. The book's humor is primarily visual, with deadpan text creating a satisfying contrast. It's a celebration of imagination, family, and the joy of embracing the wonderfully weird. Perfect for ages 4-8, this book inspired the Disney film "Meet the Robinsons."
While spending the day in the Robinson household, Wilbur's best friend joins in the search for Grandfather Robinson's missing false teeth and meets one wacky relative after another.
