A small, battered, blue notebook with a rabbit cut into the cover. Illegible words have been written on it in black permanent marker. Inset in the bottom right corner is childish pencilled writing, reading "this story" and, on a separate line, "hope you like it". At the top of the whole picture is written "My first book!" in an old fashioned typeface.
