On an ordinary Tuesday, frogs take flight, sparking whimsical chaos.

What other surprises does this night hold? Dive into a nearly wordless tale where the unexpected becomes reality, and every page invites you to imagine the impossible. This enchanting story, told with the precision of a silent film, captures the magic of an ordinary day turned extraordinary. Will the world ever be the same after this airborne amphibian escapade?
A Caldecott classic celebrating twenty years in print.
David Wiesner received the 1991 Caldecott Medal for Tuesday. In the years that followed, he went on to receive two more Caldecotts, and Tuesday went on to sell half a million copies in the United States and to be published in a dozen foreign countries. Now, with remarkable advances in the technology of color reproduction, the original artwork for Tuesday is being reproduced anew, for an edition even more faithful to the palette and texture of David Wiesner’s watercolor paintings. The whimsical account of a Tuesday when frogs were airborne on their lily pads will continue to enchant readers of all ages.
