LINE
Vardell writes that “lines can set the mood or convey movement” while providing “a feeling of valance, motion or distance.” The motion in is evident in all the pages of Klassen's underwater hat-nabbing caper. When the books smoothly round protagonist steals a much larger fish’s hat, the reader’s eye is immediately drawn bottom of the page where the gentle lines of the assorted sea flora seem to sway in an invisible underwater current. The lines of these sea greenery then seem to stand rigid when the larger fish wakes up and realizes that his hat has been nabbed. They then seem to curve as if jolted forwarded when he swims after the overconfident hat thief.
