City Dog, Country Frog

Updated: 7 Sep 2020
In spring, when City Dog runs free in the country for the first time, he spots Country Frog sitting on a rock, waiting for a friend. “You’ll do,” Frog says, and together they play Country Frog games. In summer, they meet again and play City Dog games. Through the seasons, whenever City Dog visits the country he runs straight for Country Frog’s rock. In winter, things change for City Dog and Country Frog. Come spring, friendship blooms again, a little different this time.Mo Willems’ spare, poignant text and Jon J. Muth’s expressive watercolors team up to tell a story that will resonate with readers of all ages.

Mo Willems has become one of my favorite authors over the past couple years. My family are big fans of the Elephant and Piggie books. They’re smart, they’re funny and they tackle tricky subjects in a simple way. He does the same thing with this book, which is more of a one-off from Mo. This one’s about life and friends and seasons and loss. It’s beautiful for any age person – a child, a graduate, a parent.
