Booktalk: Boys aren’t the only ones who work on the farm. Follow a father and a daughter as they care for farm animals in two visits to the barn on a working farm — first, waking early to do the routine, daily work in the pre-dawn hours, and in a mid-night visit to the barn to help a horse who’s foaling.

I Cannot Draw a Horse

I Cannot Draw a Horse
by Charise Mericle Harper (Author / Illustrator)
@ Amazon | Bookshop

Booktalk: A simple “nothing shape” becomes a cat, a squirrel, a beaver, a bunny, a dog, a turtle, and a bear. But what about a horse? The cat really wants a horse. But . . . the book cannot draw a horse. Can the quick-drawing narrator appease the horse-obsessed cat with an impressive collection of horse-y alternatives (all created from the same “nothing shape”)? Or will the cat finally get a horse?
