Tuesday: A Caldecott Award Winner

Product Information

Wiesner changes out those pupils for smaller dots on others, though, which gives them a more surprised or fascinated expression. The book does not state or show who is narrating what is happening, however, it is clear that this person is going along the adventures of the frogs to show to the readers what is occurring in the book. There's no hidden moral that a child should absorb, no message about what is good and what's bad behaviour.

To add an interactive lesson, you could have children point out on the clock the time line as you "read" along.

He creates three-dimensional models of objects he can't observe in real life, such as flying pigs and lizards standing upright, to add authenticity to his drawings. In the two-page spread, we see that the television’s side lies on the right vertical golden section.

The next setting is the frogs in a field where they then jump into the pond, and then pigs start flying in the air near a barn.

Tuesday nights are for flying and frolicking toads, a gasping turtle, frightened birds, a stunned man, a sleeping matron, and a frantic dog.
