Tuesday [With Frog]

David Wiesner. Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), $22 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-395-73511-4

Leapin' lizards--er, frogs! The many fans of Wiesner's 1992 Caldecott Medal-winning Tuesday will be hoppy to learn that one of its acrobatic amphibian actors has landed in his very own book-and-toy package. The personable critter rests (courtesy of Velcro) on fabric lily pad, accompanied by a paperback edition of the book (Clarion, $22, ages 5-up ISBN 0-395-73511-4 May).
