Perfect for fans of the down-to-earth charm and wisdom of William Steig and the sly wit of Jon Klassen. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA 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, \u003ci\u003eThe Bridge\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEva Lindström\u003c\/b\u003e is one of Sweden's most celebrated picture book authors and illustrators and the 2022 laureate of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award.
