任务（上）答案（下）

In different pages, the audience can find different details in each maze scene based on layered stories which took IC4DESIGN for 3 years to finish.

It was a very long journey to develop the idea from the rough sketch step by step to the final publications:

在不同的页面里，读者可以在不同的迷宫里不同的层次中找到不同的故事细节！而这一切，花费了IC4DESIGN团队3年时间去完成　从想法到草图一步一步发展到最终出版的绘本，是一个十分漫长过程

Before drawing into each book page, we were firstly considering the entire world view of the Canal City.

在画每一页迷宫之前，我们最先思考的，是整一个水之城的全貌。

Oh! If you want to enjoy the Pierre in another level, go and find the Polar Bear and Red Ninja! you can find it in every page!

如果你想要体验皮埃尔的下一个阶段，去找红色忍者和北极熊吧！你可以在绘本的每一页找到他们！每一页都有！

More surprisingly!
