Today Is Monday

With exuberant childlike energy, Eric Carle has created an irresistible menagerie to tell the story of the long-loved children's rhyme introducing the days of the week. Even the youngest child will delight in the rhythmic text and the vibrant illustrations that make this book sure to be a favorite at storytime--or anytime. Full color. nString beans, spaghetti, ZOOOOP, roast beef, fresh fish, chicken and ice cream are the delicious fare during the week in this popular children's song. Until Sunday. Then, all the world's children are invited to come together and share in the meal. Celebrated artist Eric Carle brings new energy to these much-loved verses as lively animals parade across the page, munching on favorite dishes, and introducing young readers to the names of the days of the week. Both art and song invite children to join in the procession and sing along.
