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?
