This was quite interesting. In a way it reminds me of Studio Ghibli work. There is a human boy who’s father is never around so he basically lives alone, and this weird creature who is hunting a goldfish that won’t stop growing. Between the illustration style, and the flow of the story, I am reminded of Howl’s Moving Castle, and Arrietty (both of which I know are kids books by famous children’s authors). There is just something different about these classic stories in the hands of Ghibli, and that is what this book makes me feel. Something special.
