This book uses the concept of Figure/ground to picture to characters running seen from the perspective of the "monster". As if they are inside its mouth (or will be). It is intriguing and sets a question "will them be ok?" Even the bright yellow letters can't hide the misterious image of the monster and complete the image with the monsters eye in the letter A. Also this big spread letters call attention to be read. Interesting layout choice.
