The Artsy Smartsy Club begins when three friends and their six-foot chicken, Henrietta,  get interested in the world of art. They begin to get interested in art when they see chalk drawings of Henrietta in their neighborhood. They become friends with a screever (someone who draws sidewalk art), buy their own art supplies, visit a museum (accompanied by Henrietta), and experiment with art. This is a wonderful story full of excitement and information about the world of art. (Trade Book)
