A playful, imaginative story of friendship, empathy, and discovery by Caldecott Honor winner Brendan Wenzel. Cat and Dog are headed home. A simple route lies ahead of them . . . or does it? There’s so much to see and smell and hear, and the two of them experience the world very differently. A stream, for instance, is watery fun for Dog, but it may not be so delightful for Cat! As their journey becomes an adventure full of unexpected twists and turns, Cat and Dog show that it’s possible for two creatures to travel in the world together despite their distinctive perspectives and abilities—and even to appreciate and enjoy them. With the irresistible read-aloud appeal of Brendan Wenzel’s They All Saw a Cat, winner of the Caldecott Honor, this is a funny, exuberant companion tale that’s an imaginative tribute to empathy, friendship, and understanding. RESPECTING DIFFERENCES: Cat and Dog experience life in almost opposite ways. Through their eyes, children will see how the same situation or problem can be handled differently depending on the perspective and ability of the creature living through it, building their empathy and understanding. DELIGHTFUL VISUALS: This picture book is full of visual surprises and Easter eggs, and readers will love turning back to find details that hint at developments to come on the journey. The dog''s and cat’s art styles evolve throughout, becoming more developed and exaggerated but ending with a unified style that incorporates both their points of view as their friendship is affirmed and strengthened. ENCOURAGES EXPLORATION: The path home is both a familiar route and a new experience as Cat and Dog make surprising—sometimes unpleasant—discoveries along the way. The subtle message about appreciating the small moments in everyday routines and the possibilities that await when we step outside them is perfect for young readers.

En medio de la naturaleza descansaba una piedra. Y la piedra era muchas cosas, dependiendo de quién la miraba y visitaba. Podía ser un refugio o esconder mortales peligros. Podía ser un lugar de reunión o un trono para sentarse. Podía ser infranqueable o insignificante. Pero lo importante es que ahí donde descansaba, pasaba la vida. En este álbum ilustrado que recuerda a autores como Lane Smith o Philip C. Stead, Brendan Wenzel permite que la naturaleza fluya alrededor de una única piedra y convierte su poema en una pasarela exquisita de animales, plantas, estaciones y cambios de terreno. Así un mismo lugar permite ver lo que puede ser, y entender lo compleja y cambiante que es la vida silvestre. La combinación de sus versos y el cuidado de la ilustración crea un sutil baile que hará que los niños regresen una y otra vez a cada página para descubrir todos los detalles de cada escena. Un álbum destinado a volverse un clásico.
