2. YES! Oh gosh, yes! It's been snowing 🌨 ❄️ ALL day today and will probably continue to do so well into the next two days. Will likely stick around for the weekend, too before our weather warms up.

1. I do get irritated by poor writing/poor editing
2. I‘m pretty sure I have expensive books on my list, but honestly I had to sell my entire Nancy Drew collection when I was younger and some were first editions. I would buy Nancy Drew books. The entire series. But older editions. #twofortuesday

1. Yes from the Swoonathon swap package.
2. I love love growing where they are working on a conflict together.

1. Not usually, but I do love the smell of old books.
2. I just started Two books, and have not read enough to know if I would date any of them. But my last few books had characters I would have dated at different ages.

Thanks @Kshakal for the tag! 🐶 yes. When I drive to work my commute is about a four hour long round trip. Audiobooks are what keep me going on the freeways of Los Angeles. So much nicer to get lost in a story then to pay attention to the people who are yelling at you!🐶🐶 I love to listen to classical music or music for meditation. Come and join the fun @KatieDid927 , @Babs_book_obsession , @HardcoverHarlot , and @joyofbooks 😃

1. Yes- exercise equipment and a blanket.
2. Yes!!! I‘m going to read all day!!!! I‘m going to prep a charcuterie style food tray and not cook- just read ❤️❤️❤️

#TwoForTuesday @TheSpineView

1. I often read a book from the library & then buy it if I will want to read it again.
2. I‘ve been tracking more this year. #two4tuesday
@TheSpineView

1. For non-fiction, I'd say The Guns of August. It's so detailed and informative, a must for history buffs. For fiction, the new Sandman audiobook. Its truly one of the best audiobooks I've ever listened to.
2. Rarely

This Caldecott award winning SF, PB by David Wiesner leaves a lot of room for interpretation with this book being in mostly pictures. It allows for student to utilize their creativity. This would be perfect for a PR & you could even have students write down/makeup their own interpretations. UDL 8.3 is all about community. Esol 2 is all about working in groups. #ucflae3414sp20

@TheSpineView is offering a #two4tuesdaygiveaway Head over to her page for details!

David Wiesner is a spectacular talent who provides a rich and inviting world of illustrations for readers of all age. It‘s hard to choose “favourite” books by this author/illustrator because all of his work is amazing. I have never met a child who wasn‘t captivated by Wiesner‘s work. His wordless books are simply without compare. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

1. No. I tend to listen to music.
2. I think I have one in my neighborhood. But I don't use it.

In this F picture book by David Wiesner, there are few words, but readers are sure to know the magic of what is going on. The pictures won this book a caldecott. It reminds students that miracles happen all around them all the time. This book would be successful as a RA. After this student s could follow the standard in this link https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/5804 In this standard students would be able to draw the events

This was a picture book without any words. Its illustrations were intriguing and let our minds wondering and connecting the dots of what could be happening page after page. Showed the pictures through different styles like boxes or covering the whole page. The colors also gave an ominous feeling to this book of what could be happening, on a Tuesday night.

Interesting story told from the view of little to no words, with the exception of dates. I loved seeing this fiction told story about frogs leaving their mark over night leaving everyone wondering what happened.

I would read this book to first graders maybe and let them write the words in a sense

I like this page i think kids would think his face is really funny

This is a caldecott book. I like this book and actually read a couple by this author and like him a lot

“4:38 a.m.” he had little use of “words” but his words were used to show the progression of time.

His use of shades and hues set the mood throughout the book. He presented many shades of blues, greens, and grays.

Tuesday by David Wiesner published in 1991 is a wordless picture book. He captures the night time life through his use of colors.

Let's be clear, both these questions have only one answer: I have a TBR I'll never finish before I die. Keeps me going trying to beat death. Life goals right there.

This Caldecott Honor book is a MF about a group of frogs that let the pictures tell the story. The pictures show them in the water, later on in the night it shows them flying outside in a neighborhood on their Lilly pads, inside a home watching tv, & chasing a dog. By the end of the story, they are back in the water leaving everyone confused about the lily pads they see all over town.

1. Usually I do lighter reading in the summer, but it really depends on my mood.
2. ALWAYS!!!! 😬

@TheSpineView

This book is about some ordinary frogs and how a magical journey takes them through the big city

a text free visual masterpiece. this book contains no words. this book allows student to look at the pictures and make up their own stories that go along with the pictures .

“11:21 P.M.”

I think that students will find this book funny and really enjoy the pictures.

Tuesday by David Weisner is a Caldecott award winning book. It tells the story of frogs who are able to fly on a Tuesday starting at 8 p.m. it shows all of the things the get into that night.

“4:38 A.M.”

This book is another example of literature without words, that turns out to be an incredibly realistic fantasy book. I think students will be more involved when reading this book since they can explain what they think is occurring in the book and maybe what they think will happen next. Also the illustrations are comical and easy to understand.

This book explains a random Tuesday evening when toads/frogs are able to fly. No one really notices the occurrence of the flying frogs, but the frogs seem excited about their new ability. When the people wake up, they are confused as to why there are lily pads in the streets and no appearance of flying frogs.

A great book for those children who are visual learners and can read stories through the use of pictures and few words.

Every Tuesday evening, an animal, starting with a frog, flies through town. This book represents a midnight adventure that leaves town wondering why there are so many lily pads throughout the streets. The things that happen through the night are times we will never fully understand. Award: Caldecott Medal; Published: 1991; Illustrator: David Wiesner

#31BookPics Day 9: This is Fats‘ (one of the GatheringBooks ladies) #SpinePoetry for Poetry Friday a few years back. Wiesner is a master of wordless visual narratives. He was one of the reasons why I fell deeply in love with children‘s books. Strange, surreal, and deliciously bizarre.
