A Tuesday Story: Red Sings from The Treetops: A Year in Colors
http://atuesdaystory.blogspot.com/2010/10/red-sings-from-treetops-year-in-colors.html
Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Red Sings from The Treetops: A Year in Colors. Red Sings From The Treetops: A Year in Colors. Written by Joyce Sidman. Illustrated by Pamela Zagarenski. Poetry can be such a sweet but elusive thing to me. I am not a well-read when it comes to poetry, but each time I read it, I love it! As a reader, I am accustomed to reading quickly; understanding. Poetry makes me slow down, and think a little more; sometimes a lot more. That is what makes it so refreshing and worthwhile. I love...

A Tuesday Story: Roger The Jolly Pirate
http://atuesdaystory.blogspot.com/2008/11/roger-jolly-pirate.html
Tuesday, November 4, 2008. Roger The Jolly Pirate. It's always exciting when you find that the author of a book you highly approve of has something in common with you. Like Brett Helquist! We share the same home state! He graduated from a favorite college of mine! And well, what do you know, he is also the illustrator of the best-selling Series of Unfortunate Events by Lemony Snicket. (The things you can learn from the back jacket: amazing). To be about pirates. Afterall, pirates are criminals! Perhaps i...

A Tuesday Story: June 2009
http://atuesdaystory.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 30, 2009. Written by Russell Hoban. Illustrated by Garth Williams. When I was a child I owned and enjoyed the classic story A Bargain for Frances. I love this story still, and so does my daughter. However, I didn't read Bedtime for Frances until I was all grown up. Oh how I love this story also! What a sweet Daddy Frances has! Finally, with a little extra motivation Frances makes it to sleep. Who hasn't had a little Frances of their own up and up again from bedtime? Tuesday, June 23, 2009.

A Tuesday Story: March 2010
http://atuesdaystory.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Go Away, Big Green Monster. That great picture book turned I mentioned last week turned out to be not so great afterall, so (sigh) I am going to write about an old favorite instead. Yea! We love Go Away, Big Green Monster! This author has some really fun toddler and preschool books, and this is one of our favorites! My first three children completely wore this book to pieces, so now we have a new one for our baby because it would be a shame to be without! Glad Monster, Sad Monster.

Tuesday, November 23, 2010. Clever Jack Takes the Cake. Clever Jack Takes the Cake. Written By: Candace Fleming. Illustrated By: G. Brian Karas.
