Every Monday Morning
by Linda Hutton

This whimsical, cuddle-up-and-read book tells the story of an elderly man’s daily routine of selfless love and service to others. Mr. Peters is retired and widowed. But he doesn’t feel like that’s any reason to sit around and mope. Every Monday morning he and his little dog, Joey, put on their matching scarf and coat and walk down to the bus stop to visit with their friends. Every Monday morning they stroll around the neighborhood, always stopping at the church to pat the maple tree planted in memory of his wife. Then they go back home to eat breakfast and wait for their friends to return in the afternoon. And every weekday morning is just like every Monday morning. But one morning everything changes. When Mr. Peters hears about some needy children, he sacrifices his routine—and much more—to help them.

REVIEW FOR PARENT: Mr. Peter and his dog, Joey are a delightful pair. Mr. Peter’s desire to keep in touch with his friends each day will inspire children to become good friends themselves. Through Mr. Peter’s unusual sacrifice, children and adults will learn the importance of giving to others in need. -- aKidzfaith
