Because he has a talent for writing and wants his dad to be proud of him for something.
In the last cover, Colin is an artistic boy who helped care for the fox with his brother, Stan. They are very different, Colin is little and scrawny while Stan is tough and strong. Colin also paints to get his anger and sadness out when bandit, their pet fox, is going to be killed. Colin's father isn't proud of Colin at the beginning of the story because he paints, but at the end all three, Father, Stan, and Colin become very close. I hope this answered your question!

cover in the title means to take shelter or to hide bandit (the fox) last cover was the pond The REAL answer is that one of the main characters in the story, the younger brother Colin, was an aspiring artist. He would use old box covers to draw on. Quote from story: "I thought of the new dress Mom had brought home a few days before in a heavy cardboard box. The box cover would be fine for Colin to draw on." And another: "Every now and then Colin got out his framed box cover and looked at it, but he never drew anything on it; he never even picked up his pencil." This was his last (box) cover that he drew a picture on before leaving his childhood behind. By the way, his pet fox was killed by a hunter.
