“From two Caldecott Honorees comes a heartfelt meditation on time and the lasting impact of friendship. In spring, newly arrived City Dog meets Country Frog, who teaches him Country Frog games. In summer, Country Frog learns some City Dog games. As the days grow short in the fall, City Dog and Country Frog spend hours talking and remembering. In winter, the snow is deep but City Dog’s friend is nowhere to be found. Spring again and City Dog returns to Country Frog’s rock to find . . . Watercolor illustrations and simple text provide a profound richness to the story.”—Libby Manthey, Riverwalk Books, Chelan, WA
