"Kids will love its lighthearted, meticulously imagined, fun-without-a-moral fantasy. Tuesday is bound to take off." -- School Library Journal (starred review)
"A surreal, almost wordless picture book shows the mysterious levitation of lily pads and frogs from a pond one Tuesday at dusk. The frogs soar around town until they fall to the ground at sunrise. Large, detailed watercolors use dramatic points of view and lighting effects and often show a humorous range of expressions. There is a forecast of further surprises to come on following Tuesdays." -- The Horn Book

This book is the greatest book from my childhood! It was different every time we read it, and that made it glorious! Definitely suggest, especially if your mom reads it with expletives like mine did! Nothing like F@&$%ng frogs terrifying the city on a random Tuesday! Epic childhood unlocked!
