A kennel with a pointed roof, an arched doorway, a bone-shaped sign above it, and nobody inside. That empty doorway is the invitation: the child can leave it dark, or draw their own dog looking out, which turns a kennel coloring page into a drawing exercise without anyone announcing it. The sign is exactly the size of a name, and the planks of the wall take alternate colors well. A dog to put in it: the fluffy dog.
