Max can’t draw. He especially cannot draw like his friend Eugene. Max decides to ask Eugene to teach him to draw, but that didn’t go so well. Finally Eugene comes up with the idea that Max should trace and then his drawings look exactly like Eugene’s. Max thinks the drawings need a little flavor like butts shooting lasers. Eventually he forgets about drawing like Eugene and decides to just be his creative self. At the front of the story is how to draw a cat and the end of the story is how to draw a cat by Max. The illustrations by Brian Biggs carry the story along and are vital to the telling of the story.
