CITY DOG, COUNTRY FROG


A story of friends, seasons, and change. The first collaboration between Mo Willems and the great Jon J Muth.

A New York Times Bestseller!

Booklist says in a starred review:


It’s hard to imagine a picture book that more consistently (and touchingly) hits all the right notes. Willems, never one to overwrite, is gracefully spare here, making every word count. That leaves room for Muth’s watercolors, richly seasonal, which fill each page. The pictures are imbued with hope and happiness, leaving and longing. This wonderful collaboration makes a significant impact with subtlety and wit. Adults and children will each take away something of their own.

Available at your favorite local bookseller or library or here.
