On Tuesday evening, around eight, frogs on lily pads rise into the air and fly through a sleeping town. They watch TV, chase a dog, and float past clotheslines. By morning, only lily pads remain. A nearly wordless book.
Why This Age
Caldecott Medal. The wordless format requires 5-6 year olds to construct the narrative themselves — a higher-order literacy skill.
How to Use
- Let your child narrate the entire story to you
- Discuss the clues: time stamps, the bewildered police, the pigs at the end
- Try: 'What happens NEXT Tuesday?' (the book hints at this)
