Based on the recent movie Lightyear, Sox the robotic cat tells readers about his mission to help
Buzz Lightyear relax. Via Sox’s viewpoint, the digital illustrations and text follow the basic movie
interactions of Buzz and Sox, as Sox tries to help Buzz. Design elements include narrative text with
varying font sizes and colors which highlight important concepts and terms, as well as a few speech bubbles. Readers interested in the movie, and especially in Sox, will find this engaging and easy to return to again and again.
