Type: Hard Cover

Author: Graeme Base

Theme: A visually stunning picture book where a boy comes face-to-face with incredibly detailed, realistic animals in an everyday domestic setting (a bathroom).

Visuals: The cover is framed like a white mirror or bathroom window. It features a young boy with messy brown hair holding a blue toothbrush. Surrounding him are highly detailed animals: a snow leopard resting its paw on the ledge, a bald eagle, a vulture, an elephant, and a large red ant on the white tiled sill. Toothbrushes and a cup sit on the right.

Vibe: Surreal, highly detailed, and magical realism. It creates a sense of wonder and mystery about the animal kingdom.
