About Art

This children's book is a rhyming tribute to a budding artist. Patrick uses quirky wordplay to tell the story of Art, a young boy who likes to paint and doodle. This book, with its exuberant images and freewheeling energy, is the perfect gift for any crayon- or brush-wielding little artist.

About A Perfectly Messed-Up Story

In this engaging, read-aloud story, Patrick McDonnell creates a funny, almost-perfect tale about embracing life's messes. Little Louie's story keeps getting messed up, and he's not happy about it! However, when he stops and takes a deep breath, he realizes that everything is actually just fine, and his story is a good one — perfections and all.

About The Little Red Cat Who Ran Away and Learned His ABC's

It starts with an ALLIGATOR and a BEAR chasing a CAT. When a DRAGON (and a chicken and an egg!) join in pursuit, things start to get really interesting. From MUTTS creator Patrick McDonnell comes an exciting new take on the alphabet book for everyone who has ever wondered what's just beyond the front door.

About Thank You and Good Night

This award-winning bedtime story reminds us to cherish life's simplest pleasures. During a fun pajama party, three animal friends dance, play, and take time to give thanks before drifting off to sleep.

About The Monsters' Monster

Once upon a time, there were three little rascals who thought they were the BIGGEST, BADDEST monsters around. In this playful, humorous tale from MUTTS creator Patrick McDonnell, a very BIG monster shows three very BAD little monsters the power of boundless gratitude.

About and Me...Jane

A Caldecott Honor Book! In his characteristic heartwarming style, Patrick McDonnell tells the story of the young Jane Goodall and her special childhood toy chimpanzee named Jubilee. As the young Jane observes the natural world around her with wonder, she dreams of "a life living with and helping all animals," until one day she finds that her dream has come true. With anecdotes taken directly from Jane Goodall's autobiography, McDonnell makes this very true story accessible for the very young — and young at heart.
