The first row features animals and food items, the second row displays clothing and furniture, the third row shows different professions represented by monkey characters, and the final row presents various food and reading materials.

The design uses colorful, child-friendly illustrations arranged in clearly defined boxes with different border colors for each category group. Each item is carefully drawn to be easily recognizable while maintaining visual appeal through consistent artistic style. The layout encourages systematic observation and comparative analysis as students examine each row to determine which item breaks the pattern.
