星期二晚上8点左右，池塘里昏昏欲睡的青蛙被惊醒了！接下来，没有文字的描述，只有在荷叶上尽情飞翔的青蛙带你穿越城镇的每个角落，感受一个不平静的夜晚，初升的太阳照耀着恢复平静的城镇。然而，下一个星期二的晚上，房子的外墙上借由灯光的照射，半空中出现了猪的影子……
这本书对于孩子极大的吸引力，应该是书中梦境般的故事展现。在夜晚飞翔的青蛙，乘坐的荷叶好像阿拉伯神话故事中的飞毯。精美独到的画面是图画书的一大特点。而像大卫.威斯纳这样的创作者，在精美图画的基础上，更融入令人瞠目结舌的大胆幻境。对于成人来说，他所描绘的这些画面可能有些匪夷所思，再加上没有文字的描述，令很多成年人在第一遍阅读的时候会感到不明所以。然而对于孩子来说，却让他们一眼就能明白图画所描述的故事情节，并且发自内心地感到这些场景简直就和他们时常在梦境或幻想中出现的情节一模一样。
At around 8 pm on a Tuesday, the sleepy frog in the pond was awakened! The frog then flies freely on a lotus leaf that take it through every corner of the town. It had a night full of adventure and it eventually came to an end when the sun rose over the peaceful town. However, on the next Tuesday night, the shadow of a pig appeared on the exterior wall of the house...
This book is so attractive to children as it showcases a dreamlike story. The frog flying at night with the lotus leaf riding beneath it is like a flying carpet in Arabian mythology. Exquisite and unique pictures are a major feature of this picture book.
