Tuesday is mostly all pictures telling the story, with few words. On Tuesday evening, the frogs and their lily pads start floating into the air. They float up past the telephone lines and the birds, and over houses. At 11:21, they fly past a man eating a sandwich. The frogs go in windows and down chimneys. At 4:38, one frog gets chased by a dog, and brings back lots of frog friends to chase the dag. As the sun rises they fall off their lily pads and hop back to the pond. The police are confused as to how the lily pads appeared in the middle of town and on the street. The next Tuesday, the pigs start flying...

I would recommend this book to very young children and their parents. It is a great book for inspiring questions and discussions.

I don't see this book causing any problems

My reaction: I liked the pictures, they were very beautiful, but personally prefer a written storyline.

My rating: ***
