Another "How to Draw" lesson spins hilariously out of control in this sequel to How to Draw a Happy Cat, perfect for fans of We Don't Eat Our Classmates and Dragons Love Tacos.

Follow these simple instructions for drawing a brave chicken: Draw an oval, two dots for eyes, triangles for the beak, lines for legs, and some wings. Easy enough. But wait . . . where is the chicken? Oh, she’s hiding! Maybe she needs armor to feel brave . . . so let’s draw her some shiny armor. Now she’s feeling brave—and she wants to chase a dragon! Oh no, Chicken! Are you sure you want to do that?

Kids and adults will have a ball watching the gang from How to Draw a Happy Cat go off the rails again! Comedian and author, Ethan T. Berlin and wicked-funny illustrator Jimbo Matison team up once again in the perfect follow up to continue the fun.
“A winning combo of easy-to-draw figures and a wacky, interactive storyline with a subtle emotional point.” —Kirkus Reviews
