City Dog,
Country Frog is a delightful and educational children's book for many
reasons. The watercolor illustrations by Jon J. Muth are beautiful and
cleverly show the expressions of the two main characters in the story.
I especially like the way the author moves the story through the
seasons as the relationship between dog and frog deepens. Their
differences are depicted by where they come from and by their favorite
activities. And yet they relate well to one another and become friends.
The end of the story is sad at first, and then becomes hope filled. I
highly recommend this book.
