Sloth Reading an Open Book Coloring Page

The pages are empty. No printed line, no squiggle standing in for text, nothing at all inside either panel, which turns the open book into the biggest invitation on the sheet. Write a title across it, draw a map, copy out a name, or leave the paper white and let the animal carry the picture.

Those two panels sweep outward from a spine drawn as a tall rounded tube with bands running across it, the one piece of real structure anywhere here and a good excuse for a second color. A long claw reaches down over the top corner of each page and a rounded foot props the book from below, so it holds its place without a hand wrapped around it.

Above all that the face is wide and friendly: a small rounded ear showing on each side, a finely hatched band running back from each round eye, a plain muzzle with two inked nostrils, and a smile that stretches almost to the cheeks. A short spray of fur points rises off the crown and the rest of the head stays smooth. The body is one unbroken shape, the margin is generous on all four sides, and there is no background at all to work around.
