Leerzaam om eerst vanuit de ruimte een kaart (map) te bekijken en daarna per bladzijde steeds verder in te zoomen naar land, straat, huis, etc. totdat we uiteindelijk in het hoofd van Katy (Nederlandse versie) terecht kwamen. Herkenbare zaken zijn op de kaarten te vinden, maar ook nieuwe dingen tegengekomen. Waarbij zoonlief zich elke keer afvroeg of wij dat ook in de buurt/huis hebben.

It's actually really challenging for a grown-up to convincingly make art that looks like it was created by a child. Leigh has mastered this and it's a huge part of this story's appeal. It will encourage readers to get creative and make their own maps - and their own books too.
