Title: Today is Monday

Primary and secondary characters: There really is no characters in the book other than the different animals mentioned.

Brief Summary and how I would use this book with students: This book talks about different foods that different animals eat on different days. Some examples include an elephant with Wednesday's "ZOOOOP" and a snake with Tuesday's spaghetti. At the end of the book a group of children are sitting around a table to eat a meal together. This book can be used in the classroom when teaching younger children about the days of the week, different animals, and different types of food. The book adds some fictional foods and colors some of the animals off the wall colors to draw the children's attention.
