Now Luke, the littlest one, is below his sister and brother, at the bottom middle of the Feely Picture. He is smaller than the other two, but again he has a big ear at the back of his head, tufty hair, a bright eye and a curly trunk. He wears a yellow and red striped pyjama top and plain yellow pyjama trousers with little red and yellow striped kneepads. Which way do his stripes go? His tummy is also sticking out. You can feel his feet marching along, one in front of the other. His tail is pointing backwards and on a string, he is pulling a toy behind him.
