Tuesday: A Caldecott Award Winner

Product Information

And also like the book, there's almost no text, instead students can follow the story through the images and music. Perfect book for all ages to enjoy and can be used to develop language skills in any language regardless of age. The next setting is the frogs in a field where they then jump into the pond, and then pigs start flying in the air near a barn. Rating: 5/5 – even with the feet I can’t begrudge it the full five stars because it’s really lovely. Fun, mysterious, and with lovely expressively gorgeous illustrations presenting a lush greenish/blue colour scheme that is just to die for (and more than well deserving of its Caldecott Medal award), David Wiesner's Tuesday actually has made me laugh out loud more than a few times (I just LOVE the scene with the white laundry sheets and that the rambunctious dog so bent on chasing the poor flying frogs so completely has the tables tuned on it).

With a child you could spend ages on each page, adding your own bits to the story - it's going to be a real treat from about the age of four and upwards. Wiesner changes out those pupils for smaller dots on others, though, which gives them a more surprised or fascinated expression. A bright first edition/first printing in Fine condition in just about Fine dust-jacket with traces of edgewear. In this ingenious and imaginative - nearly wordless - picture book, frogs in a pond lift off on their lily pads and fly to a nearby town where they zoom through a woman's living room, encounter a dog playing in his yard, and distract a bathrobe-clad citizen from his midnight snack.

David Wiesner’s story of a magic along with his beautiful illustrations makes “Tuesday” a mesmerizing book for children.

They scare roosting birds and collide with a washing line before finally crash landing towards the sanctuary of a lily pond. The final pages of the book show "next Tuesday" around eight in the evening, with pigs hovering above the roof of a farm building. Light-hearted and quirky, it is sure to appeal to a child's sense of adventure and fun, as well as stimulating the imagination.They fly around the neighborhood, interacting with a dog and even going into an elder woman’s home and watching TV! Glad I got the library binding as it is very sturdy and will last much longer than a paperback version.

Beautifully SIGNED by David Wiesner on the half-title page; Wiesner won his first of three Caldecott Medals for this almost wordless story in pictures. Wordless picture books encourage children to think for themselves and form their own interpretation of what is happening in the narrative. A largely wordless picture book, Tuesday conveys the strange happenings one evening, when a fleet of frogs glide in on floating lily pads, alarming the natives of a quiet American suburb.I highly recommend this book for teachers or really anyone that wants to share a beautiful story with their children!

Reminiscent of 1950s science fiction/flying saucer movies, “[the lilypad] became a sort of magic carpet, flying around. Like the beautifully illustrated book Tuesday by David Wiesner, this animated video follows the frogs' journey.

This is my favorite one, and the one that demonstrates--and sweetly, humorously--his interest in surrealism, as it involves suddenly flying frogs, still on their lily pads.
