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.

An inevitable and much-anticipated follow-up to the team'sHow To Draw a Happy Cat (2022). "Chickens are known for being...well...chicken," an unseen narrator admits, "but follow these instructions and you can draw a brave chicken." Simple directions ensue: an oval for the chicken's body, dots for her eyes. Uh-oh. A frightened Chicken hides behind a pail. Giving her a knight's suit of armor and a horse will make her look brave; the narrator explains how to draw these items. Then a dragon arrives. What will make Chickenfeel brave? Friends on a trampoline can help (among them Cat, the hero of Berlin and Matison's earlier book). The dragon flies off, and, feeling courageous, Chicken wants to pursue. She asks for a rocket ship, which the narrator initially rejects. But when Chicken begins crying, the narrator quickly agrees. A rocket ship takes the friends to the moon, where the ravenous dragon awaits. Chicken proposes a creative solution: drawing an ice cream truck. Bits of bright color enhance the action, while Chicken's path to bravery will gently bolster many young readers. Matison's firm linework and clear steps make replicating his charmingly childlike drawings look doable, inviting kids to try. It's a blast, and as the narrative concludes, Chicken has proof that she's brave--but now her pal Dog is hiding under the pail. Stay tuned. A winning combo of easy-to-draw figures and a wacky, interactive storyline with a subtle emotional point.(Picture book. 5-8)COPYRIGHT(2024) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
