Product Information

Tuesday” is an excellent book about the power of using one’s imagination as magic is the main theme here and this book will surely be an instant treat to children who love books dealing with adventure and imagination. I would recommend this book to children ages three and up since the majority of the book is wordless and young children will easily enjoy the illustrations. Wallace’s flying frog was one of the first flying frogs to be described (i.e. officially named as a species). The species is named after English naturalist Alfred Russel Wallace, who first discovered a specimen in Sarawak, Borneo. Tuesday” is a Caldecott Award winning book from the creative mind of David Wiesner and is about how some seemingly ordinary frogs from a pond go on a magical adventure throughout the city. David Wiesner’s story of a magic along with his beautiful illustrations makes “Tuesday” a mesmerizing book for children.

Wallace’s flying frog facts, pictures and in-depth information. Find out about an amazing flying frog that is capable of traveling up to 50ft. through the air! Do you think the police will solve the mystery? What explanation might they come up with for the night’s events? Tuesday is a wordless picture book that vividly depicts strange events that happened at various times of the day on Tuesday. Look carefully, how has David Wiesner drawn the picture to show that the frog stops suddenly? Can you explain how he has shown that? Tuesday, written and illustrated by David Wiesner, is a 1991 wordless picture book published by Clarion Books. Tuesday received the 1992 Caldecott Medal for illustrations and was Wiesner's first of three Caldecott Medals that he has won during his career. [1] Wiesner subsequently won the Caldecott Medal in 2002 for The Three Pigs, and the 2007 medal for Flotsam. [2] Description [ edit ]How would you describe the colour palette David Weisner has used? Why do you think he has chosen these colours? Then on my second visit a week later, I asked when she'd be calling my wife and she said "I don't think I have to." So it sounds to me like they have enough evidence to make a call, but I can't tell what they're gonna say, and I don't find out for 2 more weeks. Distribute the books or project an image of the front cover using a visualiser. In pairs, ask the children to look closely to work out what’s happening.

Wiesner has always been intrigued by and curious about what comes before and after the captured image. His books somehow convey the sequence of thoughts leading up to and following each picture, and that quality explain why they are frequently described as cinematic. Tree-climbing snakes are known predators of Wallace’s flying frogs. Is Wallace’s Flying Frog Endangered?I agree it's best if the evaluation criteria remain secret. I'm waiting for the official results of the evaluation, but I'm curious what others think based on your experience. Here’s how it went for me: Very little is known about this elusive species that spends most of its life high in the rainforest canopy. What Does Wallace’s Flying Frog Look Like?

The species is widely distributed and occurs in several protected areas. Its population is considered stable. Write a news report either for a newspaper or for television news. Include eye witness statements. Expert witness Also known as parachute frogs, Wallace's flying frogs inhabit the dense tropical jungles of Malaysia and Borneo. They live almost exclusively in the trees, descending only to mate and lay eggs.Wallace’s flying frog is one of several frog species that are capable of gliding flight. (Although the animal is known as a ‘flying frog’ it is not capable of true flight and can’t take off like a bird.) Tuesday is a strange title for a book. Encourage the children to speculate why it might be called this. The overachieving Wallace's flying frog wasn't content to just hop and swim. Thousands of years of watching birds navigate the rain forest and avoid predators by taking to the sky appears to have convinced this unique amphibian that air travel is the way to go. In the Air

Wallace’s flying frog forms breeding aggregations (groups) on the ground near a body of water. The frogs gather in vegetation near to forest pools or by wallows – pools made by large mammals such as pigs and rhinos. Notable declines only seem to affect frog populations in specific locations. These declines are usually caused by loss or degradation of the animal’s forest habitat. The frog’s snout is blunt, and its large eyes are pale yellow with horizontal pupils. The prominent tympani (eardrums) are positioned behind the eyes and are roughly 1/2 or 2/3 of the diameter of the eye. The texture of the skin is fairly smooth on the upper side of the body and on the throat. The frog’s undersides are coarsely granulated. The three frames zoom in on the turtle sitting on a log. This technique is used a lot in films. An establishing shot opens a film and is then followed by close-ups. Ask the children to think about the information we can get from an establishing shot (e.g. setting). The information can we get from a close-up (e.g. emotions and reactions). Notice where the turtle is looking. Does the direction change? What might this suggest? Flying frogsI have never read a “wordless story” before and didn’t know what to expect. I found myself scratching my head at times in trying to figure out the point of the story. Apparently when it turns night outside, frogs fly around at night in Lillie pads. There is no point to this story but I did find the pictures to be very interesting. I guess that this is one of those books that enforce the reader to really use their imagination and think. I can only wonder how a parent would approach reading a “wordless story” to their children. They are generally bright green with yellow sides and grow to about 4 inches. They survive mainly on insects. Can you think of any reasons that David Wiesner chose pigs as the next animal to have an adventure? When the frog leaps from a branch it extends its limbs and splays its webbed feet to create a large surface area. The membranes catch the air like sails, and allow the frog to glide distances of up to 15m (50 ft.).
