The love of a good book knows no bounds, absolutely none. One without words, done by an exceptionally creative artist storyteller is doubly loved. Triply, even.
Tuesday is written by David Weisner. Describing the book would be doing it an injustice. But I will say that toads/frogs are strange creatures who seem to manage the impossible in nature. How a mud puddle in the middle of our farm driveway would suddenly burgeon with tadpoles which morphed into frogs and then disappeared, I could never figure out.
Recently Diane Tolley from On the Alberta/Montana Border wrote about the mysterious appearance of amphibians/toads/frogs in a place that never had them. And then, they disappeared.
If you have not read her posts or are unaware of this blogger, please visit her. Diane shares her life growing up on a ranch and her love of adventure in her wonderful posts.
I do not have an answer for her. But I promised her that I would share this book and link it to her post, Toad today, Gone tomorrow
Enjoy!
This following animated version is delightful! Please click on this link and see the video! Thanks! DOROS Animation: Tuesday
