Your kiddo will love practicing their reading skills with this fun easy beginner reader book! A little girl pretends that she is a different animal for each day of the week, from an alligator snapping in the bathtub on Monday to a bull of Saturday charging at family members. To their immense relief, on Sunday she reverts back to her normal self. A funny story that celebrates the powear of imaginative pretend play. A rare, hard to find out of print title.

This is a 1970s ex-library hardcover. Pages show reading wear including spots and smudges. Binding solid. Library card pocket, stamps and stickers present. Mild wear to cover edges. A sturdy copy with years of enjoyment left in it. Price reflects condition as noted and rarity of title.
