I love Patrick McDonnell’s work, especially his ongoing Mutts comic strip. I received this book in exchange for my honest review. Mutts Go Green draws on Patrick McDonnell’s 25-year career of writing and illustrating heartwarming comics starring Earl the dog, Mooch the cat, and a host of other adorable animal friends.

This special collection of MUTTS comics for kids includes eco-friendly lessons on how to keep the environment clean and ways to help create a greener future for our furry friends and future generations. Mutts Go Green is a special kids’ collection of the popular comic strip MUTTS, featuring themes of ecology, environmental friendliness, and animal education. He and his wife Karen O’Connell are vegetarian and happily reside with their formerly feral cat MeeMow. Consistent with McDonnell’s concern for the environment, all of the MUTTS books are printed on recycled paper. McDonnell’s website,, promotes his animal and earth friendly philosophy. His fifth children’s book, South, was released in 2008. McDonnell again returned to the New York Times bestseller list with Hug Time, featuring a kitten named Jules who goes around the world hugging endangered species. His next release, Just Like Heaven (2006), heralding the joys of simple blessings, was hailed in a starred review by Kirkus as 'a meditation on the true nature of miracles'. Art (2006), his second release, told the story of a boy named Art who makes art. His first children’s book, which featured the MUTTS characters, The Gift of Nothing, quickly became a New York Times bestseller. In 2005, McDonnell embarked on a children's book career. In 1994 McDonnell created the comic strip MUTTS which now appears in over 700 newspapers and 20 countries.
