New York: Delacorte Press, 1981.
First US Edition. 12 pp. Glossy pictorial boards featuring metallic and circuit-board motif. Light edgewear, mild surface rubbing to boards typical of high-gloss finishes; interior pop-ups bright, crisp, and fully functional with all major mechanical elements present. Hinges sound.
Issued at the height of Pieńkowski’s acclaim following the success of Haunted House, winner of the 1979 Kate Greenaway Medal. This Delacorte edition reproduces the U.K. production with characteristic high metallic inks and whimsical interplanetary design. A standout example of late-20th-century novelty bookmaking, merging sci-fi aesthetics with playful family narrative.
