Notes about this exercise:
The target age is not clear cut here and this image could easily appeal to readers who are younger.
'All children's illustration has bright colours' - Colour needs to be strategic to depict context of the story, emotive qualities, and meaning. A wolf may be drawn in grey shadow to depict something sinister, but rendered in rainbow colours to depict that he is fantastical or fun.
It all depends on the different elements in the image and how they work together as a whole.
