join us in the shop for morning storytime — small business saturday edition! we’ll have our longtime sbs author guest ethan t. berlin in the shop reading (and attempting to draw along) to his new book how to draw a happy cat!
A "how to draw" lesson spins hilariously out of control when a cat won't stay happy in this relatable, madcap read-aloud, perfect for fans of Dragons Love Tacos.
Drawing a happy cat seems like such an easy thing to do. Just follow the instructions in this book! Or not. It's harder than it looks, especially if the cat wants a skateboard . . . or a stuffie . . . or some friends . . . or if she's hungry. And when she does get hungry, you might just want to draw a pizza-flinging catapult so she can eat with her friends from atop her plane. This laugh-out-loud picture book will have kids asking for repeat reads and parents nodding knowingly at the escalating cycle of demands.
