Bookroo's summary

In a whimsical drawing lesson, creating a happy cat becomes a chaotic adventure. The reader must discover why Cat isn't satisfied, despite gifts like a stuffy and t-shirt. As demands escalate to skateboards and pizza-flinging catapults, can you fulfill Cat's whims and draw her happiness? This interactive tale invites laughter and creativity, challenging readers to keep up with Cat's ever-growing list of desires.

From the publisher

A “How to Draw” lesson spins hilariously out of control when Cat just won’t stay happy! This relatable madcap read-aloud is immense fun, and 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! Wait a minute . . . why doesn’t Cat look happy? We gave her a stuffy and a cool t-shirt! Uh-oh! Turns out drawing a happy cat is harder than it looks. Now it’s the reader’s job to find out why Cat isn’t staying happy AND draw everything she wants! (That might include skateboards, friends, and yes–even a pizza-flinging catapult.) This clever, often tender, laugh-out-loud picture book breaks the fourth wall in charming ways; will have kids asking for repeat reads; and will definitely have parents nodding knowingly at the escalating cycle of demands. Can you draw a happy cat?
