Tuesday; Art & Max, both by David Wiesner

1992 Caldecott Medal Winner

Art & Max by David Wiesner
caldecott author

David Wiesner as I've mentioned before has won the Caldecott Medal THREE times (and has a couple of Caldecott Honor books as well) so, after reading Flotsom and  The Three Pigs I was eager to see some of his other books. Here are two more. . .

David Wiesner enjoys fantastical journeys of various sorts. Tuesday is another almost wordless visual story involving things fantastical. Mainly,  frogs lifting off the pond and flying on their lily pads, all through one Tuesday night.

The next Tuesday it appears to be flying pigs. And in fact it is those very flying pigs that inspired The Three Pigs story (also a Caldecott Medal winner.)

Art & Max I was especially curious about since I'd watched a video interview of the author talking about his creative process with this book. It features two lizards, both artists, one more established one a student and it's a grand  and fanciful exploration of different art media.

Fun Stuff. I recommend this author in general.
