The story plays on the old saying 'when pigs fly' idea and is conveyed by the final illustration of the following day turning to night as pigs begin to take flight. From flying over fellow pond creatures, to a close encounter with a frightening dog, who knows where these frogs will fly next. The progression of this fantasy keeps the reader desperate to see what will happen next as frogs on flying lily pads zoom though a neighborhood. Taking place in the darkness of night, Wiesner creates a platform where anything is possible. This book is a delight for young readers for its plot and illustrations. Tuesday, a Caldecott award winner by David Wiesner, is an excellent children's Fantasy picture book. However after taking a deeper look and analyzing the pictures, you can pick up on a story that it creative and fun! Read more At first glance, it feels as though Wiesner does not give the reader much to work with. This is because the reader has to infer what is happening by looking at the pictures and essentially reading between the lines.

I could see this book being appropriate for teaching students about inferences. The illustrations are powerful and allow the book to have a plot without the use of words.

The colors used in the illustrations were much darker than in his other books, however this allows the reader to see that it is an ordinary night with not so ordinary events. In this dream-like fantasy, Wiesner takes the readers on an adventure where frogs gain super powers and are able to float around the town on their lily pads. However, the times allow the reader to gauge the story line of the events and when it is taking place. This was the second David Wiesner book I have read and I once again found myself impressed.
