Jan Brett has the animals looking and acting like animals. (In this case, that one color is turquoise, as you can see on the cover.) I like the detail more, but there's a real charm in the simpler pictures of this edition. and like many books of that time period, it alternates between full-color spreads and one-color spreads. In contrast to Jan Brett's signature style of very intricate pictures, the artwork in this book is very simple. When one teeny animal tries to be the last to just squeeeeeze in (in this version, a cricket), that proves too much for the old mitten and it bursts all over the place.
