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.
