The Night Riders

In Matt Furie's "The Night Riders"--the first picture book from one of America's most enormously imaginative young artists--a nocturnal frog and mouse awake at midnight, share a salad of lettuce and bugs, and strike out on an epic dirtbike adventure toward the sunrise. As the friends make their way from forest to bat cave to ghost town to ocean to shore and beyond, new friends are discovered, a huge crab is narrowly avoided, and a whole world is revealed. Packed with colorful characters and surprising details on every page, "The Night Riders" is the ideal book for anyone who has ever wanted to surf to the mountains on the back of a dolphin.
