In this picture book set at the turn of the century, a young boy named David Earl identifies the days of the week by the different aprons his mother wears. Monday is wash day, when she wears her blue apron with long pockets to hold clothespins; on Thursday she wears a pink apron for visiting shut-ins; on Saturday she wears a pretty flowered apron for selling pies at her roadside stand; and on Sunday, the only day that she doesn't work, she wears no apron at all. Illustrated with oil wash paintings.
