Unfortunately, the act of starving children until something is accomplished is realistic in some regions of the world.
This story gives children the hope to never give up and believe that good always outweighs evil, The illustrations are bold colors resembling a lush tropical island atmosphere, The animals are universal and identifiable to a child, The evil godmother is drawn to look evil, while the little girl, Isha, looks nervous and then eventually happy.
The illustrations show the characters in different

clothing, so the reader knows the story spans over a couple of days.
Only daytime is illustrated. There are pictures on every page, which covers aboutof each page, The detailed pictures have a painted feeling, The black text is normal size and located at the top or the bottom of each picture, except for the last page where the two legends are listed in the middle with pictures surrounding the text.
This artistic approach showcases the legends for the reader,

Overall, the young girl outwits the godmother by using her resources to find out the godmothers true name, Zeboo Noloo Chinoo.
This shows Ishas determination and eventually success, In addition, the crab character provides the reader with an understanding to assist others in any type of bad situation.
