00:00When is Saturday? Written by Deborah Kovacs. Pictures by Richard Brown.
00:11Hey everybody, this is your old pal Grover. Are you ready to read along with us?
00:19Good! This is a story about the days of the week.
00:24Now, remember that every time you hear, turn the page.
00:34Sunday. It was a quiet Sunday and Grover was bored.
00:40There's nothing to do around here, he said.
00:44Nothing exciting ever happens.
00:48But Grover, said his mommy, something exciting is going to happen.
00:54Your Uncle Georgie is coming to visit us on Saturday.
00:58Saturday? That is very exciting, said Grover.
01:04I can hardly wait to show him my new bed and take him to the zoo and...
01:10Grover stopped.
01:12But when is Saturday, mommy? He asked.
01:16Is tomorrow Saturday?
01:24No, Grover, said his mommy.
01:27Saturday is a week away.

01:50Oh, my.
01:55Said Grover.
01:57That is too many days for me to remember.
02:00How will I know when it is going to be Saturday?
02:04Grover's mommy made him a calendar.
02:06It showed all the days of the week.
02:09She drew a circle around Saturday.
02:12Sunday.
02:13Let's put this calendar on the wall.
02:17She said.
02:18We'll cross out each day when it's over.
02:21That way, you can always see how many days are left until Saturday.
02:31Before going to bed that night, Grover crossed out Sunday on his calendar.
02:37Today was Sunday.
02:41He said to himself.
02:45Five more days until Saturday.
02:49Monday.
02:51The next morning, Grover looked at his calendar.
02:55Today is Monday.
02:59He said.
03:02Monday is house cleaning day.
03:05He helped his mother do the cleaning.
03:07Then he made a little tent house.
03:10And he cleaned that, too.
03:13On Monday afternoon, Grover, Prairie Dawn, and Harry Monster made animals out of clay.
03:20Harry Monster made a clay kitten.
03:23Prairie Dawn made a big clay dragon.
03:27Grover made a clay cow.
03:29On Monday night, Grover drew another X on his calendar.
03:39Today was Monday.
03:43He thought as he went to bed.
03:46Four more days until Saturday.
03:50Tuesday.
03:51Tuesday.
03:51On Tuesday, Grover went to the store with his mother.
03:58They bought lots of vegetables to make a big pot of soup.
04:02That night, Grover made another X on his calendar.
04:13Tuesday.
04:15It was vegetable soup day.
04:18He said.
04:19Only three more days until Saturday.
04:24Wednesday.
04:25Wednesday.
04:25On Wednesday, Grover went to Ernie and Bert's house to play.
04:32They made a building with blocks.
04:39Wednesday afternoon, Ernie and Bert and Grover went to the library with Big Bird.
04:46It was story day.
04:48They heard a story called Rumpelstiltskin.
04:51Grover loved it.
04:55That night, as Grover made an X on Wednesday, he said.
05:04Wednesday.
05:06Was story day.
05:09Only two more days until Saturday.
05:14Thursday.
05:16On Thursday, Grover played jump rope with Harry Monster and Cookie Monster.
05:21Grover jumped 53 times without missing.
05:32Cookie Monster and Grover went to Grover's house afterwards.
05:36Grover's mother let them play with some old clothes.
05:39They played dress-up all afternoon.
05:42Grover's mother said,
05:44Why don't you ask Cookie Monster to stay overnight?
05:48Oh, Mommy, said Grover.
05:51What a wonderful idea.
05:54Just before they went to sleep, Grover made another X on his calendar.
05:59Thursday.
06:02Cookie time to stay.
06:04He said happily.
06:06One more day until Saturday.
06:16Friday.
06:16Friday.
06:18Friday was the day Grover's mommy always took him to the park.
06:24Grover played on the slide with Cookie Monster.
06:28He pushed Big Bird on the swings.
06:30Then Big Bird pushed him.
06:32Then they all went to Grover's house and had cookies and milk.
06:37On Friday night, as Grover made an X on his calendar, he said,
06:49Friday
06:49was Park Day.
06:54Tomorrow is Saturday.
06:57Oh, my goodness.
07:00No more days until Saturday.
07:02Uncle Georgie will be here tomorrow.
07:05I think I will make up a little poem to surprise him.
07:13Saturday.
07:17Grover woke up early on Saturday.
07:20He looked at his calendar.
07:21Today is the day, he said.
07:26Uncle Georgie is coming.
07:28He hurried into the kitchen for breakfast.
07:31Just as Grover and his mommy were finishing their cereal, the doorbell rang.
07:37It was Uncle Georgie.
07:49Grover was so happy to see him.
07:52Hello, Uncle Georgie!
07:55Grover shouted, giving him a big hug.
07:58Hello, Grover, said Uncle Georgie, giving him just as big a hug.
08:05What have you been doing?
08:08I have learned something new, said Grover.
08:12And I made up a poem to tell you about it.
08:17My poem is called The Days of the Week.
08:21Sunday, Monday, do I know another?
08:28Yes, I do.
08:30Tuesday, no need to ask my mother.
08:34Next comes Wednesday.
08:37I am sure of that.
08:39After which comes Thursday.
08:42I will give myself a pet.
08:45The next day is Friday.
08:48I can say the days out loud.
08:52And the last day is Saturday.
08:57Oh, I am so proud.
