I Cannot Draw a Bicycle

I Cannot Draw a Bicycle is a silly and laugh-out-loud story about a cat and a horse, two creations made by the artist, made from the same shapes. These animals want fun and fast things to ride on: the cat has a skateboard and the horse wants a bicycle. The artist tells them that they cannot draw a bicycle, so the story continues with other suggestions made or the animals trying to make a bicycle themselves from memory.

I Cannot Draw a Bicycle reminds me of the Elephant and Piggie books, because the two friends have adventures together, love each other, and there are simple words on each page. The story is the right length; it shows teamwork, using your imagination, and problem-solving instead of getting upset about things.

Kids of all ages will enjoy this story because it’s silly and it might make them want to practice their drawing skills to see what they can make with simple shapes.
