  • A Fantastical Tale of Flying Frogs

    David Wiesner is such an imaginative storyteller and talented illustrator. This picture book depicts frogs traveling on lily pads through the air on a Tuesday evening. The frogs and settings are realistically drawn and their journey is a magical one. I recommend.
