String 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.
My 2 year old grandson loves this book. Simple dialogue,easy for him to repeat. Love the illustrations. Wonderful investment!

We love all Eric Carle books. The art work and repeative text are so applealing to my kids. My 2 year old loves to hear the story and re reads it to himslef based on the pictures. My 4 year old is able to memorize the text and read it aloud to us. Great story to hear and great book to begin to learn to read with. We also recommend Secret Birthday Message, Hungry Caterpillar, Head to Toe, all Eric Carle
Bizzare fun

This book is a little bizarre. The foods chosen include a chicken that looks alive as it goes down, BUT it's a fun book with the colorful, creative illustrations that are the author's trademark. I highly recommend it since it had my toddler glued!

This is cute book that teaches the days of the week with different foods in the form of a story and a song. It also uses different animals and the text is repetitive. Note to teacher: This can be used to teach math skills, different animals ,and foods. The repetitive text builds memory and can implement body movement.
A keeper for your child's library.

My Daughter and I love this book. It helps her remember the days of the week. We giggle and laugh and sing out the words. I highly recommend this book for any child just learning to read.
