First, use a cream shade to color the pages and red for the bookmark. Now, fill in the eyes black with small white ovals. Shade the cheeks with pink. Next, use yellow for the strap buckle, the small corner bumps, and the strips along the spine. Then, color the front cover with shades of purple. Finally, use a rich blue color for the spine, back cover and strap.
