The border carries this page. A drawn rectangle frames the whole sheet, and leaves run along every side of it, overlapping the line in places so the frame never reads as flat. Leafy stems climb the corners, and small round gum nuts cluster along the bottom edge.
Inside that frame the koala sits facing forward and almost entirely plain. Its ears are the exception. Both are packed with fine parallel strokes that follow the curve of the fur, which makes them the one place on the animal that already carries tone before you start.
The face is simple by comparison. Two eyes with pupils, two brows, a large oval nose and a small mouth. The body below is left completely open, a single broad field with no interior lines at all, and the two hind feet meet at the bottom center with dark filled pads.
That split is the point of the sheet. One wide empty animal, one busy frame of small repeated shapes. A younger child can color the koala and stop. An older one can keep going into the border, where dozens of separate leaves wait and a shift from green to green comes naturally.
