Summary:

This is a wordless book about some very interesting and magical Tuesday nights. On this particular Tuesday evening frogs magically rise and fly on their lily pads over sleeping people below. It won the1992 Caldecott.

Opinion:

The illustrations in this book are phenomenal. They are so detailed and realistic it makes you feel as if this really could happen. You could wake up to find frogs floating through the air and watching your television. It opens all doors and windows for your imagination and lets it run wild. Anything could happen on a Tuesday night around eight.

I would definitely use this book in my classroom, not only on my library shelf, but for genre studies as well. These illustrations could easily keep students captivated and interested.
