深海传奇 (新蕾精品绘本馆, #?)

The characters have such charming personalities—I'm curious what inspired the author to combine animals with steampunk-like inventions.

Edison's adventures seem to promote thinking outside the box, but I wonder if the author intended to inspire young readers to explore and invent.

The illustrations perfectly match the tone of the story, but I wonder what influenced the decision to use such a detailed, playful style.
