What is Today is Monday about?

Each day of the week brings a different meal in this lively, rhythmic picture book. String beans arrive on Monday, spaghetti on Tuesday, and roast beef on Thursday, while colourful animals enjoy each dish. The repeated verse builds day by day, inviting children to join in and remember the sequence. When Sunday comes, everyone is welcomed to share a delicious feast of ice cream. Eric Carle’s bold collage illustrations make this playful song an engaging introduction to days, food and repetition.
