I just saw the recorded version of the book breakdown.
It is amazing how much thought Dan puts into every page and your comments were very insightful!
Another thing I liked about this book is how it bends the idea of time. Did Beekle exist before Alice saw him at the playground, or did she created him from the beginning and drew his journey?
Another little easter egg that I noticed is that the color pencil case has beekle’s crown, but not only that, when beekle is born, there is a rainbow right behind him. The rainbow could be a representation of the pencils from Alice pencil case , meaning that in the moment she opened her pencil case to draw, that’s when beekle was created.
Also in that same page with Alice drawing, she is drawing a rainbow on the left side of the page and beekle is on the right side of the page, mirroring the positioning from the first page.
I also love that he made the dogs notice him.
Thank you for doing this book review/explanation!
