Today is Monday, today is Monday
Monday, string beans

All you hungry children
Come and eat it up.

Today Is Monday

Laurenjoan--Tidbits a la mode:
Today is Monday is a traditional folk song. Eric Carle made a colorful picture book about it titled, Today Is Monday.
Today is Monday is a fun way to sing about food, all while the children are learning the days of the week (hurray for Early Child Literacy in storytime!).
And, SCCLD's Focus on Food is bringing exciting and innovative programs for Adults, Teens, Children -- School-Age kids and even preschoolers and toddlers - to our libraries February through May of 2013. Awesome programs are going on now --
