Tuesday

"Tuesday", written and illustrated by David Wiesner, is a beautiful picture book about what happens to frogs when the day is over. This book is wordless, so that means the audience must interpret the plot of the story, which when frogs go flying around peoples homes after dark, can lead to all sorts of fantastical ideas about what is happening, especially while sharing the book with kids. I absolutely love this book because of its' beautiful, surreal illustrations, it would be so fascinating to hear kids versions of the kinds of motives the frogs are acting upon. I think that it would really be fun to design an art lesson around this story, liturature has always been a common element that has appeared in art for centuries, it would be a real treat for the kids to share their own "Tuesday" picture and story, maybe prompt them to tell what strange event would happen on, say a Friday, it would generate lots of cool ideas.
