Tuesday In this ingenious and imaginative nearly
wordless picture book, frogs in a pond lift off with their lily
pads and fly to a nearby town. There they zoom through a woman’s
living room as she dozes in a chair watching television, harass
a dog frolicking in his yard, and distract a bathrobed citizen from
his midnight snack. The unpredictable events of this particular
Tuesday unfold before the reader with the precision and clarity
of a silent movie. What will happen next Tuesday?
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.” — Horn Book

“I’m
often asked where I got the idea for Tuesday. The question
is usually accompanied by a suggestion or two. Did I have a pet
frog while growing up? Do I live near a swamp? Do I have a "thing"
for frogs?”
