This sequel to Pumpkin Soup, on the surface, is a simple one of going to the city to fetch some salt, it deals with early childhood fears such as getting lost and feeling out of place as well as the imposing nature of big placed and feeling small. The city and its denizens are fascinating. Cooper uses perspective so well to give that sense of being lost and this is contrasted beautifully at the end when Duck travels back home in a helicopter, seeing the world from above.
