Tuesday by David Wiesner




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

"F" is for Frogs...

It's not easy being green...

Grandma!
Today we learned
About the letter
“F” is for
FROGS!
Oh, Sunshine!
I love frogs!
In the Spring time
The frogs would sing
At night.
It's night, I see a light...Go to the light
We learned
About how they hop
And about their
Long sticky tongues
That catch bugs!
SEE ME JUMP!
My brothers
Would go down
To the pond with a
Flashblight
and nets.
We learned
That frogs are
All colors and
Live all over
The world!
Then my brothers
Caught the frogs
And brought them
to the house
To kill and clean them.
Yep, he's a big fella'!
Oh, Grandma!
I love frogs
So much!
Don’t you love them,
Too?
My mother
Would fry up the frog legs
For supper.
They taste like chicken.
I don’t like chicken.
