Hudson and Tallulah Take Sides

Anna Kang

From an award-winning team, a tale about a cat and a dog who discover that even though they don't look at things the same way, they can still be friends.

Hudson and Tallulah may be neighbors, but the fence between their yards isn't the only thing that divides them. They can't see eye to eye on anything. One day they venture out, and after nonstop disagreement, they realize something surprising: they don't always have to agree to be on each other's side.

Inspired by a story their daughter Lily wrote in the second grade, the author and illustrator of the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award winner You Are (Not) Small have created a tale of finding common ground when you least expect it--and using it as a stepping-stone to friendship.

Praise for this book

"New Yorker cartoonist Weyant's illustrations, which use gouache, graphite, and lots of white space, carry the day, filling the dog's and cat's reactions to what they encounter with plenty of comic details (like the bold lettering conveying the dog-park dogs' frantic barking at the cat). Madcap fun." --Booklist (starred review)

"Charming cartoons convey the nearly wordless story augmented with dialogue between the two rivals...An amusing exploration of how opposite personalities can learn to appreciate their unique relationship." --Kirkus Reviews

"Aptly captured by married team Kang and Weyant (You Are (Not) Small), the unlikely friends' comic path to camaraderie unfolds nearly wordlessly, with expressive gouache and graphite scenes that burst with physical humor, showing that even those who fight like cats and dogs can be friends." --Publishers Weekly
