Today Is Monday in Texas - Tapa dura

All of Texas's lucky children will find something scrumptious to sing about in this rhythmic walk through a week of the Lone Star State's favorite foods. On Monday, it's pan de campo, and Tuesday it's chicken-fried steak. Wednesday is chili, and Thursday is time for sweet onions. By the time the weekend comes around, everyone is ready for barbeque and strudel. Come and eat it up!
This adaptation of a popular song by multi-award-winning Johnette Downing features seven delicious dishes from the state that thinks big and loves to eat. Bright collage-style illustrations complement the introduction to the days of the week and traditional Texas foods. A glossary describing the meals, their origins, and how they are prepared and a recipe for pan de campo will have children humming the yummy words all week long.
