Book Guide

A little boy and his dog set out one sunny day to catch a frog. They find one sitting in a pond at the bottom of a steep hill. In a delightfully humorous story, told without words, the boy and the dog fail to capture the frog but acquire instead a clever and endearing new playmate.

Mercer Mayer's enchanting illustrations perfectly capture the mood of a small boy's summer adventures.
