Product Description

▼▲

The unpredictable events of a particular Tuesday unroll before the reader with the precision and clarity of a silent movie in this nearly wordless, very creative Caldecott medalist story.

On this particular Tuesday night, some frogs wake up to find themselves floating in the air! They enjoy their night of freedom, sitting on their flying lily pads, exploring the nearby houses while the inhabitants are asleep. But with the first rays of the sun, they all fall back to the ground and go back to their quiet lives in the pond. Could anything else as exciting happen? When the next Tuesday rolls around, we are left with the image of pigs rising into the air! David Wiesner has outdone himself in incredible illustrations. Recommended for ages 4 to 8. The 1992 Caldecott Medal winner.

Editorial Reviews

"Kids will love its lighthearted, meticulously imagined, fun-without-a-moral fantasy. Tuesday is bound to take off." — School Library Journal (starred review)

"A surreal, almost wordless picture book shows the mysterious levitation of lily pads and frogs from a pond one Tuesday at dusk. The frogs soar around town until they fall to the ground at sunrise. Large, detailed watercolors use dramatic points of view and lighting effects and often show a humorous range of expressions. There is a forecast of further surprises to come on following Tuesdays." — The Horn Book
