Tuesday

It begins on an ordinary Tuesday evening — and then the frogs start to fly. With almost no words at all, David Wiesner transforms a quiet suburban night into a wonderfully strange adventure, told through cinematic illustrations, unexpected humour and the irresistible logic of dreams.

Editor's Note
Tuesday is a reminder that a story does not always need words to become unforgettable. David Wiesner lets the pictures do almost everything. A glance, a shadow, a change in perspective or the expression on a frog's face becomes part of the storytelling. The result feels less like turning the pages of a conventional picture book and more like watching a beautifully strange silent film unfold in your hands. And perhaps the best part is that the book never feels the need to explain the impossible.
Why We Selected This Book
Because visual storytelling this confident is rare. Tuesday gives children room to observe, interpret and create language of their own rather than simply following words printed on a page. Every reading can become slightly different as children notice new details, imagine conversations and decide for themselves exactly what is happening. It is playful enough to delight young readers and sophisticated enough for adults to appreciate the extraordinary craft behind every image.
Who Will Enjoy This Book
- Ideal for children of approximately four and up who love imaginative stories, detailed illustrations and visual humour.
- Imaginative young storytellers, visual learners, and children who enjoy wordless or nearly wordless picture books and wonderfully strange adventures.
- Because the story relies so heavily on images, it can be particularly engaging for children who are not yet confident independent readers — they can help tell the story rather than simply listen to it.
