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.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"If you are looking for a heartwarming story to share with your children, you'll want to buy this one. It begs to be read out loud with inflection. Every Monday Morning has that remarkable ability to reveal some new insight every time you read it. Tidbits tucked among the words and enchanting illustrations offer an opportunity to explore a variety of values without being teachy or redundant." (Mary L. Karl Books Plus )
From the Back Cover
Every Monday morning Mr. Peters and his little dog, Joey, put on their matching scarves and coats and walk around the neighborhood. They say “hello” to the same folks, stop at the same church, and eat breakfast at the same time. And every weekday morning is just like Monday morning.
But one cold morning, everything changes. And when Mr. Peters gives up not only his schedule but also something he loves, no one in the neighborhood will be the same.
Linda Hutton, the youngest of twenty-one children, is never at a loss for fascinating writing material. A nationally published author, she is also the founder of two literary journals and a local women-in-the-arts group. Linda lives in Decatur, Ill.

Every Monday Morning,
This review is from: Every Monday Morning (Hardcover)
Every now and then I discover a wonderful children's book that makes sense to share with my grandson, Holden. Such is the case for Every Monday Morning by Linda Hutton. Here is a delightfully captivating story with a message of giving to others that every child should hear. What I like most about Every Monday Morning is that it encourages Holden to think about doing the right thing- rather than just telling him what to do. Great book.

Disappointed,
By Emma "Book lover" (Boston) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Every Monday Morning (Hardcover)
Reading these reviews, I got this book for my daughter.
She got very bored with it, and I was disappointed in the lackluster writing. As a college professor, besides being a mother and a book reviewer, I found that this author hasn't learned to "show, not tell." It looks like this is the author's first book, so of course there is room for improvement in the future. I just would pass on this one.
