If you like Chewandswallow, you'll love Wilbur Robinson's family. Eclectic 90's techno family unique as the Adams Family and The Jetsons. The wacky way of life at the Robinson's and illustrations appeal to children while the moral of the story and outstanding imagination and wit appeals to the adults.

A book for young and old, laced with fantasy and whimsical delight. What other children's books have brain enhancers, dancing frogs, spaceships, and a rousing chorus of "Yes, We Have No Bananas?" Wilbur Robinson and his family are the coolest.

I first got this book from thr library to read to my children but I purchased it for myself. It is that entertaining. It has an inventive story line based on a visit with an average but somewhat unusual family. The illistrations are high quality, full of surprises, and reminicent of the Art-Deco world and Buc Rogers. Pictures and text each support one another and provide a new discovery with each read.

All-around satisfactory! Price was exactly what I needed, shipping was quick and clean, book arrived in good condition - as promised - and I'm positive that my little cousin will love it.

It's a fun book, though more for the lower half of the suggested age 4-8 range. Ultimately part of the inspiration for the Meet the Robinsons movie, we spend time with a very eccentric family of inventors, scientists, and dilettantes in a Jetsons style retro-futurist wonder-world. My daughters remarked "Wilbur Robinson" when they first saw the "upstairs" segments of Metropolis.

Wow! The book A Day with Wilbur Robinson is a fantastic book. The book is about a boy who visits Wilbur Robinson and his family in the future. I loved this book because it was funny when Wilbur and his friend are looking for his grandpa's teeth. In the end grandpa's teeth are found in a funny way. If you read the book you will know where they find his teeth. I recommend this book to anyone of any age because it is a good book and every age group will like it.
