Zhou has an exceptional vision to choose a delightful nursery rhyme as the text of his picture book, and adapts part of the contents for modern children to understand better. The expressive approach seems simple yet proficient. It also combines of reality and fantasy The figuration and movements of vegetables are lively. The natural personification of faceless vegetables makes this even more humorous and interesting. The humor on images can particularly touch children of three to eight.

Zhou eloquently accommodates Chinese artistic elements with the nursery rhyme background, such as Peking Opera martial arts scenes. The scene on the title page can also be associated with the vegetable fields in Bianjing outskirts in the ancient Chinese painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. The austere style is an imitation of ancient artists Xu Wei and Qi Baishi. The expressive and forceful lines enable readers to enjoy the visual effects, the sensational contrast of softness and hardness, the aural contrast of roar and station, and each character's advance and retreat.

The title page informs us the field owner leaves home and gives the vegetables a ground to become goblins. In the end of the rhyme, the text repeats the first line but the vegetables in the picture do not. The picture then keeps telling stories. The owner gets home, and everything is back in tranquility. Yet the endpaper has a wordless picture (in the edition published by Tomorrow Publishing House) implying something bustling and leaving readers space for imagination.
