Their wish was granted twice, when an engineer and a witch gave them a little wooden robot and an enchanted log princess. But there's just one catch: every night when the log princess sleeps, she transforms back into an ordinary log, and can only be woken up with magic words. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The princess and her robot brother are inseparable, until the sleeping princess, mistaken for lumber, is accidentally carted off to parts unknown. Now it's up to her devoted brother to find her and get them safely back home. They need to take turns to get each other home, and on the way, they face a host of adventures involving the Queen of Mushrooms, a magic pudding, a baby in a rosebush, and an old lady in a bottle. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e This is acclaimed graphic novelist Tom Gauld's first picture book for children, inspired by a bedtime story he made up for his daughters. In his words, \"I was trying to make a book inspired by three different sets of books: The books that I remember enjoying as a child, the books that I watched my daughters enjoying, and the books I enjoy now as an adult. I wanted the book to have its own quirky feeling but also to function like a classic bedtime story.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003e An ALSC Notable Children's Book\u003cbr\u003e A Charlotte Zolotow Highly Commended Title\u003cbr\u003e A \u003ci\u003ePeople Magazine\u003c\/i\u003e Best Kids Book of the Year \u003cbr\u003e A \u003ci\u003eWashington Post\u003c\/i\u003e Best Children's Book of the Year \u003cbr\u003e A \u003ci\u003eWall Street Journal\u003c\/i\u003e Best Children's Book of the Year\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Gauld \u003c\/b\u003e(Aberdeenshire, Escocia, 1976) estudió Ilustración en el Edinburgh College of Art y en el Royal College of Art.
