The colours on the page are very blunt and bright: blue and red, with only certain features actually having colour e.g. the cats hat and bow tie but not the cat. This draws attention to the cat - the main character but does not overwhelm in colour.
The picture of the cat and a box dominates the whole left page and this allows children the time and space to interpret what they think is happening through the image,
The red and blue is used throughout and gives the book a simplistic look with a splash of colour highlighting certain features.
The writing is in short sentences and arranged like a poem, this may be for its target audience - children.
The black writing stands out on the white background and this allows for easy reading
The other two main characters appear in the bottom right corner, this is so you know they are there and also contributes to a child's interpretation.
The colour red often stands for danger and the cat is notorious in the book for causing trouble therefore the colour scheme may offer a hidden meaning.
