Story with childrens characters

My story, 'Meet the Lollykins' is a simple story aimed at 3 to 5 year olds. The Lollykins are a group of Kindergarten age children (age 4-5) made of lollies. Their dog is made of a carrot- just to throw a healthy spin on the story. The story relates to real life occurrences and emotions in the target audience's life- for example- the routine of going to school, playing, then having tea, bath then bed; and feeling sad when someone you are close to is away for a few hours.

I kept the design of the spreads basic, brightly coloured and relative to each other. I used the same style throughout- everything has a bold black outline (which for a childrens character is good in a marketing sense- eg. colour-in books) and the colours arent confusing (the grass is green, the sky is blue, bricks are brown, etc). I used a sans serif font and large text because it is easy to read. The dimensions are 240mm wide by 300mm high for each page, and 480mm wide by 300mm high for each spread. *after getting the assessment sheet, the size had been changed to A4 for one page, A3 each spread, so i have changed the illustrations to suit this *
