David Wiesner's 1991 Caldecott Medal Book Tuesday is pure magic and whimsy. The (almost) wordless picture book tells the story of a day when a group of frogs fly through the town. 

The book is a great springboard with students in grades 1, 2, and 3 to explore a variety of ideas through movement: flying, stealthfulness, moving en masse, and traveling pathways around town. The book can lead to improvisation activities with a group, or even a magical group dance.

    I am a librarian at Toronto Public Library and have used this book many times for class visits. The manner in which I use this story is to have the students tell a story to me. I use the story with the same grades as you, grades 1 to 3. I think it’s a fabulous book. Nice to see it promoted. Hopefully, new librarians will discover it too.
