I have finally taken that advice to heart and read the book. My Top Ten Tuesday is Bookish Confessions @ https://thephantomparagrapher.blogspot.com/2019/07/top-ten-tuesday-bookish-confessions.html Lovely artwork and lovely idea. I certainly enjoyed it and can only imagine what a child looking at it via nightlight will think.

A thing I learned on this reread: I love Wiesner’s humor. The surrealism is cool but damn, can he convey a surprising amount with the faces of creatures one does not think of being expressive. Surprised frogs, smug frogs, frogs gone wild, frogs sad to return to the everyday. It’s magical. The only text in the book is the indication that it’s Tuesday with the time. Children love the watercolor illustrations and their imaginations can run wild with this story because it’s surreal. The Indianapolis Public Library.

In this one, the only word used (and it's used sparingly) is Tuesday as a reminder that all the events are taking place on a Tuesday night.In a rich palette of blues and greens – and at various hours of the night – we see, among other things, the frogs crashing into washing, watching television while an old lady naps, and encountering a scary dog.

Synopsis: The events recorded here are verified by an undisclosed source to have happened somewhere, U.S.A.. on Tuesday. All those in doubt are reminded that there is always another Tuesday. I guess I’m pretty much alone here: The artwork, as usual, is wonderful, but I found this story slightly creepy. Am I missing something special that I simply didn’t get? I wonder. Each week has 4 lessons planned and includes all resources. End of unit outcome would be the children writing a fictional story.

NOTE: If a weekly topic is listed as a “freebie”, you are invited to come up with your own topic. Sometimes I will give the freebie topic a theme, such as “love”, a season, or an upcoming holiday. That just means that you can come up with any topic you want that fits under that umbrella. Richard Osman (left) on the set of Pointless with Alexander Armstrong. Photograph: Graeme Robertson/The Guardian Tuesdays aren't supposed to be like this. Tuesday is a nice, respectable day of the week. Chaos should not envelop such a day's night.October 17: Books with Weather Events/Words in the Title/on the Cover ( I’m picturing a list of titles with weather-related words in them like storm, rain, blizzard, flood, lightning, hail, snow, wind, etc. OR covers with lightning/storms in the picture.)

Continue reading » The story contains only six words and three points that determine the time of the action. The whole story is narrated by colorful pictures of frogs flying on their lily pads. This delighted and amazed me. The first frames brought bubbles of joy flooding my system. What a joy and delight this was to read. Do you read a wordless picture book, or do you experience it?

At around that time, an unknown force rises all the frogs on lily pads, from a swamp, into the air and takes them around a nearby town for a joy ride. Their adventure, through the town’s suburban neighborhoods, lasts all Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning.
