Answer 1

from wikipedia -

Code

As stated in the preface, throughout the book there is a code hidden in the illustrations. The code involves images of pentominoes and a particular animal. To decode the code you must count the number of frogs in every other illustration, as well as find the hidden pentomino. Once you have collected these facts you may use the same code presented in the story (on page 57 of the American Version) that Calder and Tommy use in the book. When decoded the message reads "The Lady Lives." The book also uses this same code as a narrative device which, in turn, becomes a clue to the illustration puzzle.
