The child-like illustrations of characters are over-laid over more sophisticated backgrounds.  The story contains a simple message about reusing items rather than discarding them:  Mr. King (King of the jungle perhaps? A cat with a crown) begins as a consumer of the first order, who is quick to toss old items into his pond to be replaced with new ones, until he’s fishing one day and snares a “monster” made up of all his discards; the hubbub that arrises draws his neighbors who don’t see the monster, but are delighted with all the treasures lying on shore, and Mr. King comes to realize how his old things can be repurposed into new inventions that delight one and all.  A great story to bring out around Earth Day.
