Heartfelt story about two unusual friends who discover themselves through uncommon situations. Excellent children`s picture book author Mo Williems and illustrator Jon J Muth have once again wrote and illustrated this great book, City dog, country frog. Short tale about two unusual friends and the passing of time.
City dog all excited to run in the wild without a leash meets country frog, an old tired frog. Country frog shows country dog, country frog games. Then city dog shows country frog, city dog games. As time passes the frog gets older, and ore tired. Foreshadowing country frog leaving because of winter. Of course city dog gets very sad and lonely. But when spring comes again, city dog meets a country Chipmunk and the circle of friendship starts all over again.

Great story for kids to learn about building friendship and accepting everyone for who they are. Personally Mo Willems have written his best book to date. And those great water paint illustrators really make the meaning and words of this great story stand out.
