Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Award-winning author and illustrator Charise Mericle Harper creates a laugh-out-loud picture book about making something out of nothing and the power of imagination in this companion title to I Cannot Draw a Horse .
The Horse wants a bicycle.
A bicycle is hard to draw.
The Book cannot draw a bicycle.
But the Book CAN draw shapes.
Can the Horse and the Cat build a bicycle from shapes? Or will their dreams end in pieces?
Featuring the same quirky contemporary voice and kid-friendly comic illustration style as its predecessor, I Cannot Draw a Horse , this children's metafiction book is an art lesson about creativity and determination, wrapped around a humorous narrative. Readers who have enjoyed other fourth wall--breaking books like B.J. Novak's The Book With No Pictures will appreciate the interactive elements in this book for children ages 3-8.
Praise for I CANNOT DRAW A HORSE
"Creative an loaded with humor, this story will have kids giggling in seconds and trying their hand at drawing a horse--or at least a gumdrop." -- Booklist (starred review)
"Part Ed Emberley, with a dash of Pigeon, and entirely meta." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Harper's illustrations make so much of so little, using a very limited palette and simple shapes, inviting readers into an artist's notebook. With a little imagination and some paper, 'nothing' can become quite something . -- Horn Book Magazine
"An easy-to-read text with exclamatory speech bubbles and pictorial antics will tickle funny bones in this off-kilter circular story." -- School Library Journal
Ages 3-8. UNSQ Kids.
Grades K-1. UNSQ Kids.
"The book cannot draw a bicycle, but the horse really wants a bicycle. Will horse's wheely dreams come true--or will they end in pieces?"-- Provided by publisher.
