“The Bridge is so many things at once. It is very funny, it is
very mysterious, it is very beautiful, and it is like no book
I’ve ever seen. I love it very much.” —Jon Klassen From
beloved Swedish children’s author-illustrator Eva Lindström, The
Bridge is the story of two wolves, one pig, and a bridge—and what
it means to embrace the absurd twists and turns that life sometimes
has in store. Perfect for fans of the down-to-earth charm and
wisdom of William Steig and the sly wit of Jon Klassen. A pig
drives by looking for a bridge but ends up the houseguest of two
wolves in the woods. Who are they? What do they want? And where is
the pig rushing off to, anyway? Written and illustrated in
Lindström’s laconic, razor-sharp, and darkly comical style, The
Bridge marks the US debut of one of the world's most celebrated
picture book creators. Young readers and parents alike will savor
the mysteries of this droll, fast-paced, and
ever-so-slightly-sinister story in which, as in a classic fairy
tale, an ordinary chance encounter suddenly morphs into an
adventure that feels both wildly improbable and true to life.
