A Frog in the Fall is a mellow tale about a young frog’s journey of discovery and adventure. There isn’t much of a plot, but the stunning artwork and the tender snapshots of life in this fantastical world are what carry the story. The focus on small moments like the frog putting on his shoes is just delightful, as are the unusual sights like a mouse riding a cart pulled by a chicken. I adore the playful inconsistencies – some plants are sentient while others seemingly aren’t, and some objects are huge in relation to the tiny characters (like the great frog’s enormous pair of scissors) while others (cup noodles, umbrellas, vinyl records) are scaled down to their size. There’s no rhyme or reason, nor should there be.
