The illustrations in the first pages of this book perfectly illustrate that money is size and size is power in this world before you've even read the first word.
It's made clear from the outset as we read from Warners perspective that the littlepoor like his family are ignored by the majority of those with more munmun and this is reflected cleverly in the clear lack of education in Warners world.
The littlepoor are sold an image of the utopian dreamworld where those the size of the average dog are able to live.

Warner is fiercely loyal to his family, even if he disagrees with them, and is willing to take every step needed to help them get munmun and stop the chances of disaster striking them again.

I look forward to the possibility of seeing how Warners character develops as well as the munmun world.
