The strength of this tender picture-book is in controlled colours and the alternating flow of the illustration. The combined effort in the cover typography, image, line and colour accompanies convincingly to face the heterogeneity. All ages of readers get rewarded through variety in both pictorial and topic. However, the typography on pages could follow the example set in the cover.

Picture-book of an unique voice carries many inventions in layout. The composition tickles and tells a story. Pictures and the story intertwine effortlessly, colours radiate on the right spots. The entire content is so wild that it leaves one slightly missing the same rhythm and glow in the cover. Illustrative style is simple on the surface, but reserves many details for the young reader to find.
