You nailed it! Great job! I like how a book looks as a book.The only minor thing that want to mention is - outline in a darker shade of that blue/grey the inner part of book pages arching away from a book's binder to make it more distinguished.

This looks polished, but I can't help but wonder if those smaller pieces would get lost when reduced. I wonder if maybe all you need is the spoon/fork across the book.

I feel like there is too much going on still. Try to think of one item you could put on a book that is simple but would give the same idea, rather than 4 objects.
