The story took place in the aquarium, a place like the sea. Many creatures were displayed here and their world was built for people to view. People and fishes look at each other through the glass from two unrelated worlds. One thing happened and it echoed a similar situation for these two worlds. That is, a little boy got lost in the aquarium and his panic and helplessness were shown in front of another world, and the one who understood him best at the moment was trapped and swimming in the other side.
Written and illustrated by Lin Boting, winner of the “Feng Zikai Children’s Picture Book Award” and author of “Go to the Zoo Together”, is the latest masterpiece caring for animals── The work directly presents the concern for the situation of marine animals from the perspective of children, and the theme echoes the reflection on the topic of “captive marine animals” in recent years; this book provides parent-child/teacher-student discussions in the form of a picture book that is very suitable for co-reading and as the starting point of the issue.
Content Features
◆Ecological Education Green Picture Book: Pay attention to the animals in captivity in the Ocean Park/Marine Biological Museum
◆The perspective of empathy: the feelings of the little boy after he separated from his parents in the museum, to bring out the various animals he saw in his eyes, as well as the situation in which the animals left their homes in the sea and were kept in captivity by humans── I hope to open up discussion and dialogue on related topics among young readers/parents/teachers and students.
◆Unique visual performance: the delicate drawing in the style of engraving creates a blue water world with strong contrast between light and shadow and light and dark.

This beautiful illustrated book is about a fox and the animals he encounters on his journey to the stream.
Reviews: Publisher’s Weekly: Star Review ‘Intricate, realistic illustrations of wildlife, made fanciful by breathtaking, multihued washes of color against a black sky, distinguish this observational nature picture book. Spare prose follows a red fox peering from a den, perceiving other animals of the forest—a buck, a great horned owl, squirrels, mice, a moose, and more—and making note of their actions while journeying to the stream for a drink. “His thirst quenched, the fox heads home,” seeing more animals along the way (“rabbits hiding in a hollow log,” “chattering crows”) before rejoining his family: a vixen and kits. The quiet, documentary tone echoes the stillness denoted on the first page (“All is silent”), setting the stage for Lo’s vibrant watercolors. The art will undoubtedly merit repeat perusals, especially for young nature enthusiasts. Ages 4–9.’

They mistook the grass for the water bird, the dead tree for the fawn, and the dirt for the crocodile… This is an optical illusion game, full of unknown and thrilling.
