Title: Tuesday
Author: David Wiesner
Year Published: 1997
Ages: 4-8 years old
Why I chose this book: This book was presented in my Children's Literature class. Even though the presenter only showed a few pictures, I was hooked. I had to find out more about the story. So I made a small purchase at amazon.com and anxiously awaited the arrival of Tuesday.
Reaction: Tuesdays at 8 pm seem to be magical time in the animal kingdom. How curious that frogs on lily pads flew around town, watched tv, chased a dog. I wonder if it was some sort of rite of passage, or a migration or an animal rebellion. What if the animals are trying to send us humans a message...
I wonder what the inspiration was for the animal organization.
First frogs then pigs... What's next? Is there symbolism?
Needless to say this book made the wheels turn in my head. It's a great read with amazing perspective.
