Tiny people on a massive journey in a massive book.
Way too many words. Skimming this, it appears to be drawings made with pastels, I would guess, with little tiny details everywhere.

Tries to be funny and fails.
It kind of seems like trying to capitalize on the popularity of “The Stinky Cheese Man,” but it really doesn't live up to that.
Don't spend beyond your means. Or, don't rob banks. Not clear.
