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.

From Publishers Weekly
Another song worth singing, Eric Carle's Today Is Monday, begins with string beans on Monday and spaghetti on Tuesday. Different animals eat their way through the week, teaching the names of the days as they go. Music and lyrics included.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 3-- Featuring the artist's familiar bold and colorful style, this song was originally illustrated as a frieze in 1977. Now adapted as a picture book, it is a joyous invitation to "all the hungry children"--shown at a multiethnic banquet at the end of the book--to ". . . Come and eat it up!" Each double-page spread shows a line from the song, with a different animal for each day of the week, eating a different food. Most of the animals are eating a predictable food (a fox with a chicken, a pelican with a fish), but there are some nonsensical scenes (a snake with spaghetti, an elephant eating "zoop"). Overall, the verse has a catchy, cumulative rhythm, but it's the dazzling illustrations--gorgeously displayed with a mastery of design and form--that make this a simple, yet memorable, picture book. --Cyrisse Jaffee, Newton Public Schools, MA

Kirkus Reviews
Carle's illustrations for this catchy, lighthearted cumulative song (``...today is Tuesday, Tuesday spaghetti, Monday string beans, All you hungry children Come and eat it up'') originally appeared in 1977 as a frieze; they are even more welcome in this attractive book showing a porcupine eating the beans, an elephant slopping up Wednesday's ``ZOOOOP,'' a cat snitching Thursday's roast beef, and so on. Rendered in Carle's trademark luminescent tissue-paper collage, the glowing animals are handsomely set off by the expansive white ground. A concluding scene with seven children sharing a meal makes a satisfying finale. Music included, but the song isn't sourced. (Picture book. 3-8) -- Copyright ©1993, Kirkus Associates, LP.

support pédagogique...
dans la lignée des Eric Carle, cet album sera utile dans l'apprentissage de la langue en CE2 avec son lexique spécifique sur les jours de la semaine et la nourriture. Sa structure répétitive le rend facile à comprendre des plus petits.

Pour le travail et pour le plaisir
J'ai utilisé ce livre avec la chanson 'Today is Monday'(I tunes)en classe d'anglais de CE2. Les enfants se sont beaucoup amusés. On a travaillé la nourriture tout en révisant les jours de la semaine. Dans le livre il y a quelques animaux en plus. Très bon achat. Je conseille 'Brown Bear, brown bear, what do you see? du même auteur

Jour de la semaine et nourriture
Le livre est déjà très beau grâce à ses illustrations et le jour de la semaine est associé à un plat. C'est toujours la même structure et cela permet de la réemployer au moment du repas et aussi après d'employer d'autres...Il y a aussi une partition et mon copain joue la guitare pendant ce temps et tout le monde participe. C'est très sympa !!
