Adventurous Anna, with her more cautious friend Crocodile, concocts a plan to "FIND GOLD." Throughout, Schwarz's pencil, crayon, and watercolor illustrations adopt a childlike style. They're at their finest in a pair of wordless spreads that show Anna and Crocodile diving down to a shipwreck; these rich, detailed illustrations stand in contrast with other text-heavy spreads of humorous dialogue between the friends.
