Overview: This book shows the story of a rather intriguing Tuesday when some frogs decided to go for a fly around town, leaving the townsfolk absolutely baffled.

Activities: An activity that a teacher could do with some younger students is to have them pick any animal and draw that animal & what it would do if it went out flying for a night (ex. if fish could fly, what would they do & where would they go).
