A New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Book of the Year
In this fresh new fairy tale, a wooden robot embarks on a quest to find his missing sister-- making for a memorable contemporary bedtime story in acclaimed graphic novelist Tom Gauld’s first picture book for children.
For years, the king and queen have tried desperately to have a baby. 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.
The princess and her robot brother are 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.
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.＂

內容簡介
從前從前，有一位國王和王后，快樂的治理著一個美好的王國，
他們一直想要有個孩子，於是拜託了王室的發明家，以及森林裡的老女巫。
終於，原木公主和小木頭機器人誕生了，
他們很快就成為相親相愛的一家人。
但公主有個祕密，
每天到了夜晚，她就會變回一根圓木，
直到小木頭機器人將她喚醒。
有一天，睡著的公主意外被當作普通的木頭，送上了貨船，
載往遙遠的北方，不知去向。
於是，小木頭機器人踏上了尋找公主的旅程。
兩人各自展開了一連串的冒險，闖進危險的國度，
遇到了蘑菇皇后、巨人、龍蛋、精靈……
一場又一場的奇遇之後，他們能平安回到家人身邊嗎？
