Description
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 childrens metafiction book is an art lesson about creativity and determination, wrapped around a humorous narrative. Readers who have enjoyed other fourth wallbreaking books like B.J. Novaks The Book With No Pictures will appreciate the interactive elements in this book for children ages 3-8.

Part Ed Emberley, with a dash of Pigeon, and entirely meta. Kirkus Reviews
Harpers illustrations make so much of so little, using a very limited palette and simple shapes, inviting readers into an artists notebook. With a little imagination and some paper, nothing can become quite something. Horn Book Magazine
