A wide tree stump takes up the bottom half of the sheet, its cut top drawn as a plain oval rim and its flanks grooved with long bark lines that flare outward into roots. The sloth rises straight out of the middle of that rim, so the stump reads as a seat and hides everything below the animal's waist. Three long claws hook over the near edge on each front paw, and those six claws are the only fiddly shapes anywhere here. Above them the body is one smooth unbroken oval carrying almost no interior line work, a deliberate blank that suits a flat fill or a single repeating pattern. The face is round and open: a gray band swept back from each eye, two large pupils with a highlight dot, a small nose with two nostrils, and a wide curved mouth. Two little tufts of grass sprout from the ground at either side of the base, balancing the composition without adding clutter. Bark grooves aside, every shape here is large and closed, which is why this one holds up when a younger child presses hard with a crayon and strays past an outline or two.
