Tuesday

I read this as part of the Illustrating Children's Books class I'm taking. If I had read this alone I'd probably give it five stars but I was introduced to this at the same time as [book:Flotsam], another of his books, and preferred Flotsam. It's a terrific story about an average Tuesday when strange events involving bullfrogs start happening. It's told without words and is quite similar to comics in layout and storytelling.

A wordless picture book with illustrations that really pull you into the scene. Avoid if you have a phobia of frogs. If you, like me, are not terrified but yet not fond of frogs, the illustrations will give you a sense of disgusted fascination as you read.
