A Day with Wilbur RobinsonWilliam Joyce (1990)

This whimsical and visually stunning picture book by William Joyce (creator of The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore) follows a young boy’s visit to the eccentric, steam-punkish home of his friend Wilbur Robinson. Filled with Rube Goldberg-like inventions, quirky relatives (like Uncle Art the astronaut and Cousin Pete the robot), and a sense of joyful chaos, it’s a celebration of imagination, family weirdness, and boundless creativity.

For Fans of Whimsical Picture Books:

  • The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore – William Joyce – A lyrical ode to stories and resilience
  • Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs – Judi Barrett – Another world of delicious absurdity
  • The Stinky Cheese Man – Jon Scieszka – Subversive, hilarious fairy tale twists

“Like stepping into a vintage cartoon—where the weirdos are the heroes.”
