Description
A highly acclaimed almost-wordless and Caldecott Award-winning picture book from the only living three-time winner of the Caldecott Medal: David Wiesner.
In this ingenious and imaginative - nearly wordless - picture book, on a normal Tuesday night, 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. Who knows what will happen next Tuesday?
'Light-hearted and quirky, it is sure to appeal to a child's sense of adventure and fun, as well as stimulating the imagination' BOOKTRUST
'One of the best illustrated storybooks we've seen in a long time . . . An amazing book that will truly fire a child's imagination!' CREATIVE STEPS
'Evocative. Children will love the silliness.' IRISH TIMES
