An illustrated animal called a beaver, sitting upright. Its body is covered in fur, which means it has a coat made of many soft, short hairs that help keep it warm. The fur is a dark brown color — brown is a deep, earthy tone, like the smell of soil or wood. The beaver’s fur looks thick and fluffy, like a warm blanket. It has small front paws, a flat tail shaped like an oval, and a round, friendly face. On its head is a hard hat — a smooth, round helmet that covers the top of its head to keep it safe, often worn by construction workers. The hat is bright yellow, which is a color often used for caution or safety — it feels energetic and cheerful, like sunshine.
