City Dog looked forward to going to the countryside whenever he could, so that he could see his friend Country Frog. They go through spring, summer and fall, but by winter Country Frog has disappeared and by the following spring he’s still gone. City Dog doesn’t know what happened to his friend, but he is able to move on in a positive way. There are two strengths to this book. First of all is the author Mo Willems, he is so good at using a few well chosen words to convey so much emotion. The second strength is the illustrations. They are done in water color, which gives them a slightly fuzzy look, but the technique gives them a lot of depth and emotion, so the complement the text. I think this would be a wonderful book to use with younger students to practice making predictions about what they think happened to the frog.
