A Little Bit Different!

I like this book, but it is a little different. It is about frogs floating around on a Tuesday and what happens when dogs and people see them. There are very few words and kids can make up their own story to go with the pictures.

Awesome book! There are many reasons he won an award for this one!

I bought two of these! One for my 1st grade daughter and one for her teacher to have in the classroom.
I "read" it aloud to her class (though there are few words), I shared the amazing illustrations with them and they LOVED it!! The teacher was very happy when my daughter gave her the book for her classroom.

Awesome book, get 2. . . one for you and one to share :)

Tuesday

Interesting story and great idea~ children will love it!

Great Book for Pre-Readers!

This book breeds a new kind of imagination, asking kids "can it happen? would it happen, and what would HAPPEN!?" I love this book for the discussions it can start while looking at the pictures, and I love this book because a child can read it quietly with no help from an adult. The illustrations are so realistic and comical that any adult will enjoy them. I have found that Tuesday is a necessary addition to any collection, and I give it as a gift for children ages 2-3, for holidays, birthdays, or any time. This book will instill a love for reading before they can even read. It is fantastic!

great for writers and struggling readers

As a teacher, its a fun book to have around. I use this for my ESOL students and struggling readers. It helps with writing exercises as well.

A reviewer

The richness of the illustrations help to capture the imagination of children and adults alike. With very few words, this book provides exceptional opportunity to talk to kids about the story... and to tell a different story with every reading. The rich blues and greens of the illustrations are beautiful. I was really impressed that each of the frogs seems to have its own personality.

Tuesday, Review

David Wiesner won the Caldecott Medal in 1992 for Tuesday. He has received the Caldecott Medal twice, for Flotsam and The Three Pigs, and two Caldecott Honors, for Sector 7 and Free Fall. He is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, and lives near Philadelphia with his wife, Kim Kahng, and their children, Kevin and Jaime. Tuesday is about a magical event that happens on Tuesday evenings around eight. Without any notice, all the frogs sitting on lily pads begin floating in mid air. These frogs are traveling all across the town creating mayhem. They are tearing down people¿s laundry, flying trough their houses, and chasing dogs. When it is near dawn, the lily pads fall out from underneath the frogs, and they have to hop back to the ponds. One only has to wonder what is going to fly on the next Tuesday night.

A reviewer

This book was a Caldecott Medal Winner in 1992. I can see why this book won the award. It is filled with colorful illustrations about a frog that wakes to find that he is flying on his lily pad. This is a picture book that has no words just times to help us track what time of night it is throughout the story. During the frogs Tuesday night adventure a man who is up late eating a snack also sees the flying frogs. The frogs are chased by a very `playful¿ dog and then the frogs turn on him and begin to pursue the dog. The next morning we see a detective examining the odd ordeal along with the ambulance and reporters. What could possibly happen next in a town like this? This is book has very creative pictures that will definitely spark the mind of a child. It is appropriate for children ages 4-8. David Wiesner is both the author and illustrator of Tuesday. He also won a Caldecott Honor Medal in 1989 for the first book he wrote called Free Fall. He was born and raised in New Jersey and graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. He now lives in Brooklyn with his wife Kim, where he devotes full time to illustration and she pursues her career as a surgeon. Wiesner, David. Tuesday. New York: Clarion Books, 1991.

Tuesday

This book is about flying frogs. On a Tuesday night a large bullfrog suddenly wakes up to discover he and his lily pad are floating in the air. This book invites the reader to use their imagination instead of reading the text, because there is little text in this book. The frogs go around the community while the people are asleep enjoying the sound of frogs in the warm night air. Read the book to see what the frogs did and to see if anyone spotted the frogs in the air. Wiesner, David. Tuesday. New York: Clarion Books, 1991.

Tuesday Review

Caldecott Book Title: Tuesday Reading Level: Kindergarten Genre: Fantasy About the Author: David Wiesner was born and raised in Bridgewater, New Jersey, and graduated from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Illustration. His work appeared in several children¿s books, including The Loathsome Dragon, which he retold in collaboration with his wife, Kim Kahng. David and Kim live in Brooklyn, where he devotes full time to illustration and she pursues her career as a surgeon. Book Review: Tuesday is a colorful, almost wordless book that invites the reader to use his or her own power of the imagination. Its purpose is to entertain, and that it does. ¿Tuesday evening, around eight¿ gets the reader using his or her imagination to think about what goes on outside after eight o¿clock. It takes you from frogs swimming in a swamp to frogs flying on top of lily pads as though they were on a magic carpet. As time passes from ¿11:21 p.m.¿ to ¿4:38 a.m.¿ people are enjoying the soothing sounds of the frogs on a warm summer night. I would recommend this book as a fun and enjoyable book to help your child learn to use his or her imagination. Bibliographic Information: Wiesner, David. Tuesday. New York: Clarion Books, 1991.

Tuesday

Children need to use their imagination more often.This would be good for k-1!Wienser, David. Tuesday. New York, NY: Houghton Mifflin Co, 1991.

a great picture book

Wiesner David, Tuesday, Clarion books, New York ,1991 As a child growing up in suburban New Jersey, Wiesner re-created his world daily in his imagination. His home and his neighborhood became anything from a faraway planet to a prehistoric jungle. When the everyday play stopped, he would follow his imaginary playmates into the pages of books, wandering among dinosaurs in the World Book Encyclopedia. The images before him generated a love of detail, an admiration for the creative process, and a curiosity about the hand behind the drawings. Wiesner has always been intrigued by and curious about what comes before and after the captured image. His books somehow convey the sequence of thoughts leading up to and following each picture, and that quality explain why they are frequently described as cinematic. David Wiesner has illustrated more than twenty award-winning books for young readers. Two of the picture books he both wrote and illustrated became instant classics when they won the prestigious Caldecott Medal: Tuesday in 1992 and The Three Pigs in 2002. Two of his other titles, Sector 7 and Free Fall, are Caldecott Honor Books. An exhibit of Wiesner's original artwork, 'Seeing the Story,' toured the United States in 2000 and 2001. Among his many honors, Wiesner holds the Japan Picture Book Award for Tuesday, the Prix Sorcières 'the French equivalent of the Caldecott Medal' for The Three Pigs, and a 2004 IBBY Honor Book nomination for illustration, also for The Three Pigs. Flotsam, his most recent work, was a New York Times bestseller and was recently named winner of the 2007 Caldecott Medal, making Wiesner only the second person in the award¿s long history to have won three times. This another picture book. It showed frogs floating in the air. They drifted through the sky and caused a great commotion. No one could figure out why they were flying it shows times and reactions of people and animals to this mysterious even. In the end all you see is lily pads left on the road after they pads appear to stop and all the frogs hop away. Then suddenly pigs start to fly. I think Children will enjoy this book. any child at any age and enjoy a picture book. Kids will have fun guessing and making up storied to explain why the frogs then pigs are flying at night. The colors and pictures were very descriptive and bright. No words are needed to make this book enjoyable

Tuesday

David Wiesner is both an author and illustrator. His book ¿Tuesday¿ was published in 1991 and won the Caldecott Medal in 1992. Wiesner was born in Bridgewater, New Jersey and graduated from Rhode Island of Design with a BFA in Illustration. He has also won two other Caldecott Medals, one for his book ¿Flotsam¿ and another for his book ¿Free Fall.¿ ¿Tuesday¿ is about a ton of frogs that go on a fun-filled adventure on a Tuesday evening, starting around eight o¿clock. They discover that they can fly on their lily pads, and they fly around town all night long until day light. The next day, the police discover a ton of lily pads lying all over the ground. There is also a lady who interviews a man who noticed the frogs that night while he was eating a late snack. Next Tuesday, occurring around the same time, what animal do you think went on a fun-filled flying adventure? Although there are only a few words in this book, the illustrations are enough to enjoy it. They can grasp a child¿s imagination and turn a wordless book into a humorous, long conversation. I think Wiesner did an excellent job with the illustrations. Not only are they captivating with beautiful colors, but the expressions of the frog¿s faces are priceless. The reading level of this book is kindergarten to second grade, ages 4-8. Wiesner, David. Tuesday. New York: Clarion Books, 1991.

Tuesday

A Caldecott Medal Winner, is a colorful picture book about flying frogs and their nightly adventures frogs flying at night reaking havoc on the community. Although the illustrations are colorful and beautiful, the story is lacking in text and can be hard to interpret. The story does not seem to make any sense.

It all started one Tuesday

This book's adventure takes place on a 'Tuesday evening around eight'. David Wiesner uses quiet possibly the most boring day of the week as the stage for an occurrence that is anything but boring. It is the frogs, something has happened to their lily pads and they are flying, yes, actually flying! Not just one or two but hundreds, maybe even thousands! Can you imagine what havoc a thousand flying frogs could create!? This is another one of his books where no text is necessary. The story hops right out at you. And, if you think this Tuesday was crazy, wait until you see what happens next Tuesday! In addition to winning the Caldecott Medal in 1992, this book also won ALA Notable Children's Book, Sesame Street Parents' Guide, and Parenting Magazine's 'Best of 1991.' Wiesner, David. 'Tuesday'. New York: Clarion Books, 1991. For ages, 5-8.

8:00, 11:21....

In 1992, David Wiesner won the Caldecott Medal for his book Tuesday. When David was giving his speech, he explained: A wordless book offers a different kind of an experience from one with text, for both the author and the reader. There is no author¿s voice telling the story. Each viewer reads the book in his or her own way. The reader is an integral part of the storytelling process. As a result, there are as many versions of what happened that Tuesday night as readers¿ As the author of a wordless book, I don¿t have to concern myself about whether the reader¿s interpretation of each and every detail is the same as mine. My own view has no more, and no less, validity than that of any other viewer. Since my intent was for the book, as a whole to make people laugh, all that matters is that the pictures are funny. David was born February 5, 1956, in New Jersey. When he was a little boy, he was constantly using his imagination to recreate his own world. The imaginative quality that is found in his work is attributed to his dreamlike and creativeness of his room. His wallpaper contained of books, elephant heads, ships in bottles, rockets, and clocks. These were the last images he saw before going to sleep all night. His room became his inspiration. You can see this in his book, Hurricane, found on page thirteen. It shows the pattern of the wallpaper from when he was a little boy, and the boy in the picture is holding a toy. All of his books are illustrated very well and they allow the children to use their imagination to tell the story. On the first page, the book says ¿Tuesday Evening, Around Eight.¿ Pictures show frogs flying on their magic lily pads. Then 11.21 p.m. comes around, and what does the man hear? The time passes and the following Tuesday, what happens? The book leaves the readers sitting on the edge of their seats and wanting to keep turning the page. I like this book because it allows the reader to be creative and allows the imagination to wonder. It lets the reader tell the story and creates an atmosphere full of creativity and fun. The reading level of the book is kindergarten to first grade. David says ¿To know that my own pictures may be inspiring imaginations with the same wonder I felt as a child is very satisfying feeling.¿ Wiesner, David. Tuesday. New York: Clarion Books, 1991.

What do you think happens on Tuesdays? Maybe you get up in the morning and go to school, and then come home and do your homework. Not according to David Wiesner! Find out what happens on any given Tuesday, in any given place on the Earth according to author David Wiesner!

Tuesday

Tuesday by David Wiesner, a great book for readers and non- readers. Wiesner gives only the time setting, requiring children to use their imagination to what all the chaos was on this dark Tuesday evening. As the light from the moon lit the night sky, frogs flying everywhere on lily pads high in the night sky. Zooming past people¿s windows soundless with only smiles on their face up down and around. Thank goodness the world was sound asleep, well except for one Mr. who was up for a late night snack. He couldn¿t turn to look as he peered out of the corner of his eye, he just about choked on his sandwich. Possibly peanut butter and jelly, he did have some milk. Wiesner¿s illustrations were filled hundreds of words only there are none actually on the page. Wiesner, David. Tuesday. New York: Clarion Books/ a Houghton Mifflin Company, 1991

Different kind of day

This is no ordinary Tuesday night though, the frogs fly on lilly pads inside a house, chases dogs, and other great adventures. This story would be great for kindergarten children up to first graders. David has illustrated more than 20 award winning books. Tuesday won the Caldecott Medal in 1992. David Wiesner lives in Philadelphia with his wife, daughter, and son. This story fits into the fantasy category.
