The atmosphere in literature might be tense, fast-paced, mysterious, spooky, whimsical, or joyful and can be found in poetry, stories, novels, and series. Fun, mysterious, and with lovely expressively gorgeous illustrations presenting a lush greenish/blue colour scheme that is just to die for (and more than well deserving of its Caldecott Medal award), David Wiesner's Tuesday actually has made me laugh out loud more than a few times (I just LOVE the scene with the white laundry sheets and that the rambunctious dog so bent on chasing the poor flying frogs so completely has the tables tuned on it).

Caldecott Medalist Wiesner once again presents an offbeat premise and unconventional artwork to tempt youngsters into his deliciously skewed landscapes.

As the full moon rises one night, it shows a large number of frogs taking off on levitating water-lily pads to visit the city and explore people’s homes.For an explanation see my review for 101 Amazing Facts about Australia You can see all the books on their own shelf. I live in the snowy Rocky Mountains, have an unhealthy obsession with soft blankets, and am happiest with a crochet hook in my hand while listening to an audibook. Patricia Dooley’s School Library Journal review probably does a better job of telling the story of the wordless picture book than the actual book itself.

Cooper’s Chase sits on the site of a former convent: now the developer, a brash vulgarian who owns a red grand piano, is exploiting a contractual loophole to turn the chapel and graveyard into eight new flats. For a picture book that has relatively few or no words at all, the illustrations are the only thing that drives the story. Higher quality materials can also be crafted with Alchemy by combining lower quality materials of the same type. The book was originally published in 1991 by Clarion Books, and then re-published in 2001 by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books for Young Readers.

I guess I’m pretty much alone here: The artwork, as usual, is wonderful, but I found this story slightly creepy. This book was selected as one of the books for the July 2016- Quarterly Caldecott discussion at the Picture-Book Club in the Children's Books Group here at Goodreads.

Elizabeth, the prime mover, was “the sort of teacher who terrifies you all year then gets you a grade A and cries when you leave”.

Tuesday, written and illustrated by David Wiesner, is a 1991 wordless picture book published by Clarion Books. A group of pensioners (Elizabeth Best; Ron Ritchie; Joyce Meadowcroft; and Ibrahim Arif) [1] set about solving the mystery of the murder of a property developer [2] in the luxurious Cooper's Chase retirement village near the fictitious village of Fairhaven in Kent. The story takes place in a very realistic world, in the suburbs of a small town, but the fact that frogs float on lily pads makes it unrealistic. I have a question about August 3rd, I just did a post about books I bought because of the covers and I was wondering if when that comes up could I post my link to that post? Clearly he is not long for this world, and when somebody slips him a lethal injection in a scuffle, the Thursday Murder Club have a real life homicide on their hands.
