Tuesday cover

The unpredictable events of a particular Tuesday unroll before the reader with the precision and clarity of a silent movie from the award-winning David Wiesner.

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.
