The darkness and texture of the illustrations provide a memorable book for many readers.   Every page  flipped, you get lost in the illustrations.  The texture and manner in which the ocean and plants are illustrated allow the reader to be hooked on finding a fish that is trying to get lost.  The rocks on the ocean floor are also illustrated to feel the roughness of it, as the crab was standing on top of it.  At the very end of the book, as the bigger fish is swimming away, the illustrations/texture show the “age” of the fish based on the lack of smoothness and patches of spots. This is truly a unique book that is written and illustrated in a most simplistic manner for a young reader to love.
