A koala leans out from behind a tree trunk with both forearms draped in front of it, looking straight at whoever is holding the page.

The pose does something none of the other sheets try. The koala is mostly hidden. A broad trunk runs the full height of the paper, and the animal appears from behind it from the chest up, arms folded forward over the bark.
Its ears are enormous. Both open wide with heavy ragged fringes and a smooth inner curve, and together they take up more of the page than the head does. The face between them looks dead ahead, with two pupilled eyes, two brows, a short cheek line on each side, a large oval nose with nostril marks and a smile below.
The forearms cross in front, one lying over the other, with claws drawn on the near paw.
Bark fills everything else. Long vertical lines run down both sides of the trunk, past the animal and off the bottom edge.
The hiding game is the selling point with children, and it also solves a coloring problem. Because the body is out of sight there is no large gray field to get bored in. The face and arms finish quickly, and the trunk waits for anyone who wants to keep going.
