Read More Books by David Wiesner It's big sister to the rescue when a new baby is delivered to a family of robots and the adults are flummoxed by technical difficulties. Mr. Wuffles ignores all his cat toys but one, a spaceship piloted by small green aliens. When Mr. Wuffles plays rough with the little ship, the aliens must venture into the cat's territory to make emergency repairs. The Caldecott-winning reinvention of “The Three Little Pigs” delights, amazes, and slyly explores the nature of storytelling itself in a bold and satisfying tale. A beach day is the springboard to a wildly imaginative exploration of fantastical mysteries of the deep—and of human connections through time.

The events of a delightfully unpredictable Tuesday invite readers to find the potential for the wondrousness in every day. Drawing on such diverse influences as Salvador Dali’s work, David Wiesner has crafted a story that goes straight to the essentials—friendship, creativity, and the mysterious point where these two forces intersect. David Wiesner works his visual magic in this near-wordless account of the most suspenseful, nerve-wracking few seconds in a baseball game.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Kids will love its lighthearted, meticulously imagined, fun-without-a-moral fantasy. Tuesday is bound to take off." — School Library Journal (starred review)

"A surreal, almost wordless picture book shows the mysterious levitation of lily pads and frogs from a pond one Tuesday at dusk. The frogs soar around town until they fall to the ground at sunrise. Large, detailed watercolors use dramatic points of view and lighting effects and often show a humorous range of expressions. There is a forecast of further surprises to come on following Tuesdays." — The Horn Book

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

David Wiesner is one of the best-loved and most highly acclaimed picture book creators in the world. His books have been translated into more than a dozen languages and have won numerous awards in the United States and abroad. Three of the picture books he both wrote and illustrated became instant classics when they won the prestigious Caldecott Medal: Tuesday in 1992, The Three Pigs in 2002, and Flotsam in 2007, making him only the second person in the award's long history to have won three times. He has also received two Caldecott Honors, for Free Fall and Sector 7.

Wiesner grew up in suburban New Jersey, known to his classmates as "the kid who could draw." He went on to become a student at the Rhode Island School of Design, where he was able to commit himself to the full-time study of art and to explore further his passion for visual storytelling. He soon discovered that picture books were the perfect vehicle for his work.

Wiesner generally spends several years creating each new book. Many versions are sketched and revised until the story line flows smoothly and each image works the way he wants it to. He creates three-dimensional models of objects he can't observe in real life, such as flying pigs and lizards standing upright, to add authenticity to his drawings.

David Wiesner lives with his family outside Philadelphia.

Weird…
It’s pretty weird and seems a little creepy for a children’s book. I looked up the author to see what other books he has because I loved his book Flotsam, but discovered he’s got some pretty creepy and evil-looking books out there that definitely aren’t suitable for children. I returned this book and will be searching for books from a different author.

I love this book and use it all the time with my clients! The pictures are beautiful and show an entertaining narrative with a clear beginning, middle with several episodes, and ending. Kids really enjoy it, and they don't even know they're doing "work" when I ask them to look at the pictures and tell the story in their own words. Great for collecting a language sample or just reading for fun.

I used this in a first grade classroom to do a retell/narration activity since this book had no words and the kids loved it! They found the book intriguing and silly and each student noticed different things in the illustrations that led them to develop their own conclusions. I also think this book would be a great mentor text for a lesson on inferring, maybe for third graders.

I love this picture book!!! I used to use it as a writing assignment with my fifth graders where they had to tell the story from a character’s POV. Since there are almost no words, only pictures, it lets the mind make up the story. Great for all ages!

This is one of my favorite children’s books ever!!!

I decorated my son’s nursery in frogs, and I used the pictures from this book to frame and use as artwork in his room. This one holds a special place in my heart.

A beautiful children's book that engages my little one in crafting a story based on the pictures. They love the facial expressions and dilemmas these frogs get into. As an adult, there are plenty of hidden bits to see so you can be present through many reads, and this one gets a lot of requests in our house.

Bought 2 books and both arrived damaged. Too bad since this book is great. This review reflects the condition of the book, not the story itself. My dad "read" this book to me as a little girl. We loved changing the story each time and looking for hidden objects. Great book to use a kid's imagination.

I remembered there was a parent in my kindergarten class that always used to bring in great books and read them to us...this one was one of them I remembered that I really loved...it doesn't actually have words to read being a picture book, but the dad who came in and 'read' sort of made up a story to go with it and I remember how much I loved that and how absolutely GORGEOUS the illustrations were. Due to this memories I bought this book for a granddaughter of a close friend of mine last Christmas. She says the little girl absolutely loves the book and wants to count all the frogs and its one of her favorites too look and and returns to it again and again! so I was very pleased :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Ein Buch das jeder mal in der Hand halten sollte!
Reviewed in Germany on May 15, 2023

Nun, ich finde das „Tuesday“ ein wirklich sehr schönes Buch ist! Die Geschichte handelt hauptsächlich von Fröschen die auf Seerosenblättern fliegen, den Rest bildet die eigene Fantasie. Ob die Frösche nun nur ein Wenig spaß haben, oder gezielt eine Stadt „Attackieren“ ist eigene Sache. Ich finde die Details in der Geschichte sehr schön! Sogar die Uhrzeit die auf Uhren in den Bildern zu sehen ist, stimmt mit dem Text der Geschichte überein. Wer genau hinsieht erkennt auch das einige Figuren/Tiere in der Geschichte mehrfach auftauchen, nur in einem anderen Zusammenhang. Das Buch ist zwar auf Englisch, lässt sich jedoch auch mit wenig Englisch Kenntnissen gut Lesen, da eher auf viel Text verzichtet wird, um der Fantasie des Lesers freien lauf zu geben.
Alles in einem ein Sehr schönes Buch, man muss nur seiner Fantasie ihren lauf geben.

"Tuesday" é um livro-imagem. O único texto aqui é a informação esporádica das horas para situar a história. Terça-feira, por volta das 20hs, sapos iniciam uma jornada pelos céus de uma cidade. A narrativa é mostrada como um suspense e o final é muito bem construído. Adorei!
