Summary:
The unpredictable events of a particular Tuesday unravel before the reader’s eyes. There are not many words in this book, but the pictures do all the talking. When I read this book to the kids I babysit, I have them tell me what’s going on in the story. They love how silly it is to think that frogs could actually fly. This book is wonderfully illustrated and a great book to use in a Pre-Kindergarten-Kindergarten setting.
