This image has so much emotion in it. The expression - sad eye and tilt of the head capture so well the sadness of the goos because he's been caught, yet his friendship and offer of help for his new acquaintance also comes through.
Beautifully composed (also so considering it's a two page spread in a book.
Such a wonderful crude, rough style and yet with that the effect is so warm and gentle.
The colours devour me - so rich and unusual.
Now that I noticed that his eye is repeated just above his 'real' eye, I'm not so pleased by that, but maybe that's part of what gives him his sad expression.
I think the choice of a simple modern font works well in contrast with the all the character in every other aspect of the image. I wouldn't want a font with some sort of flamboyant character as well.
Good design decision!
Great image.
