About This Item
New York: Clarion Books, 1991. First edition. Fine in fine jacket.. First printing of Wiesner's first book to win the Caldecott Medal, featuring virtually no words but many hovering frogs. David Wiesner's knack for scale and perspective - from illustrating tiny fish at play or the imposing hulk of an enormous felled tree to entirely wordless stories - have earned him three Caldecott Medals, only the second artist to do so. Here, cheerful frogs hover like UFOs across gorgeous twilight spreads. What next? Pigs flying? 9'' x 11''. Original quarter black cloth, light blue paper boards. In original unclipped ($15.95) color pictorial dust jacket. Tan endpapers. Illustrated by Wiesner in color throughout. [32] pages.
Synopsis
A Caldecott classic celebrating twenty years in print. David Wiesner received the 1991 Caldecott Medal for Tuesday . In the years that followed, he went on to receive two more Caldecotts, and Tuesday went on to sell half a million copies in the United States and to be published in a dozen foreign countries. Now, with remarkable advances in the technology of color reproduction, the original artwork for Tuesday is being reproduced anew, for an edition even more faithful to the palette and texture of David Wiesner’s watercolor paintings. The whimsical account of a Tuesday when frogs were airborne on their lily pads will continue to enchant readers of all ages.
