Tuesday by David Wiesner

Tuesday is one of the most creative books I have ever read. This book is the epitome of wordless books. It doesn't need any words to explain what is going on in the book. I believe if there were words in this book it would ruin the inventiveness and expression of David Wiesner's created in the pictures of this book. Tuesday is about the imagination and things that happen at times when people are unaware. Like what crazy things happen after every one goes to bed? It's about how ever Tuesday around 8:00 the frogs get on their Lilly pad and fly in the sky.

My favorite picture is where all the frogs are floating in grandmas living room while she is sleeping and watching TV. In this picture all the frogs do not look the same. Some are intrigued, others scared, and some not paying attention to the T.V. The detail and thought put into these pictures is phenomenal. For example the page where the detectives are examining the Lilly pads it incorporates the previous pictures: the man being interviewed that was eating cereal and the cat from the grandmothers living room. This is one of the best picture books I have read and would recommend it to anyone.
