What are Mondays good for? I ask myself that question every week.
This book is the perfect book for teachers to read to their nervous school students on Monday morning. The mood of Bennie progresses as the day goes on and that was what I enjoyed most. I can’t wait to read this book to my children before school. 5 stars!

This book is about a boy named Benny that hates Mondays. Something we can all relate to! The book goes through a Monday school day of his where one something bad keeps happening to him. But Benny finds humor. This was a big hit with my 6 year old son. He loved the space shirt and the pencils above the teacher. Thank you for the copy.

What Are Mondays Good For, Anyway? is a delightful children's book that follows Bennie on his quest to conquer his Monday blues and find joy in the start of the school week. Bennie dislikes Mondays because they mean the end of the weekend fun and the beginning of a long week of work and responsibility. But with a little bit of humor and a change of perspective, Bennie discovers that Mondays can be just as fun and exciting as any other day.

This heartwarming picture book is a valuable tool for parents and teachers who want to promote a growth mindset and help children deal with back-to-school jitters. It encourages a supportive learning environment and helps anxious school-aged children feel more confident and positive about the start of the week. What Are Mondays Good For, Anyway? is a must-have addition to any children's book collection or elementary school library.

Who likes Mondays? They signify the end of the weekend, a time where we get to spend time with our families, relax, and have fun. You've heard the saying "I have a case of the Mondays." There has always been a negative association with Monday, that is until you read this book. Bennie starts out on a Monday knowing he's not going to have a good day just because it is Monday. No matter how hard he tries to find the negative in the Monday he keeps finding the good instead. This book is a great reminder to always look for the good, and that there is always a reason to smile. I will be purchasing this book to add to my children's bookshelf. I was offered a free copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
