This is a great book for young children. I personally related the plot of the book back to my childhood. It’s about the main character whose new neighbors are moving in. The character is hoping that the neighbors have a young boy his age. He states, “I really hope they have a kid my age!” When he finds out that the child his age is a girl, he was disappointed. As the girl tries to paly with him, he runs away until he realizes that she can do anything he can, so they become friends. When I was younger, my neighbor Anthony moved in next-door and I felt the same way, however, we grew very close with each other and still remain best friends! The main message of this book is friendship.

Mercer Mayer was born December 30, 1943 in Little Rock Arkansas. While attending school at the Honolulu Museum of Art, Mayer decided to enter the field of children's book illustration. He created a portfolio of sketches and peddled them wherever he could. He moved to New York City in 1964, pursuing further instruction at the Art Students League of show more New York, where he met an artist named Marianna who became his first wife. He soon created a new portfolio and with these new sketches persuaded editors at Dial Press and Harper & Row to give him some illustration work. Mayer published his first book, A Boy, a Dog, and a Frog, at Dial Press in 1967. It was notable for being a completely wordless picture book one that tells its story entirely with pictures.
