Arabella the Smallest Girl in the World

I found this book something of an oddity: Arabella's miniature stature allows the artist and reader to observe familiar objects as larger than life whilst the short text listing the articles has a pleasing pattern and rhythm and rhyme but the pictures tell a far more imaginative story. So, a soap dish becomes a boat with cotton wool stick oars, and ice cream becomes something from which to build a snowman. But the final picture showing Arabella standing in the palm of dad's hand between his and mum's large smiling faces, and captioned with 'She had a story just like ours, with an ending - oh so fine.' I found rather puzzling.
