A week of food, animals, and song

Eric Carle’s picture book arranges familiar foods across the days of the week, pairing each day with a lively procession of animals and a sing-along verse. The sequence gives the book a simple calendar structure, while its Sunday scene brings children together around a shared meal. Food vocabulary, animal imagery, and the names of the days are woven into the same musical pattern, making the book as much an invitation to join in as a way to encounter the week’s sequence.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young children learning the names and order of the days of the week
  • Families and educators looking for a sing-along picture book
  • Children who enjoy animal illustrations and food-themed stories

Book overview

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.
