Tuesday

Tuesday by David Wiesner

Ages 5 and up

4 stars

            It is dark and time for bed.  That is when the frogs from a nearby pond start to fly on their lily pads.  The frogs scare the birds, watch TV in your house, and even fly away from dogs.  When the sun comes up all the lily pads flop to the ground and the frogs hop on back to the pond.  Next Tuesday pigs fly. 

            I chose to read this book, because it has come up in class quite often and I enjoy David Wiesner’s work.  Once again, David amazes me with his detailed drawings.  I really enjoyed this book because the frogs on the pages looked so frumpy and happy I couldn’t help myself. 

            This book would be great for student’s to write a story too, or maybe continue the story with the flying pigs.  I love hearing students’ different versions of the story.  Wordless books are a great resource for young children how are possibly struggling to read or even students who are learning how to write a story.
