Every Friday by Dan Yaccarino is a look at a Father - Son tradition of weekly Friday breakfasts. An author's note tells that this is a real traditon of the author and his son.
Yaccarino's illustrations were made using gouache on watercolor paper. My favorite image: the opening image of Dad leaning to kiss his wife goddbye, Mom with arm out about to feed baby in highchair, baby leaning toward the spoon, and dog under spoon waiting/hoping for some dropped food.

A young boy and his father have a tradition-ever Friday they have breakfast at the diner. No matter what the weather is, they keep up their tradition. On the way to the diner, they experience many things such they saw shops open, they saw people walking their dogs, the saw buildings going up, and much more. The two make it to the diner and have breakfast. The boy usually gets pancakes. Father and son talk about all sorts of things at breakfast. Soon breakfast is over and they start their journey...more
Loved this! It's such a sweet, simple story about how a father and son share a special morning together once a week when they walk through the city to enjoy breakfast at their favorite diner. It's great that this is a tradition they have together, something each looks forward to every week. The slightly old-fashioned feel to the illustrations is charming, though this is a contemporary book and the positive message of a father and his child spending special one-on-one time together.
It's nice to show a dad and his son doing something together every week. I especially like how the kid looks forward to it and never gets put off by his dad. It would really suck to have a routine like this and then Dad starts saying he's too busy or something. The story is not deep. The illustrations are not that amazing. Still, it is a good message without being boring.
bright colors. simple illustrations. It's cute how the dad and boy mirror each other's steps, and behaviours. The boy pauses to look in a toy shop window, the dad pauses to look in a sporting goods store window. Good discussion starter to ask kids what their rituals are.
Retro art and a retro concept, both of which are worth reviving. This weekly dad/son breakfast date is simply portrayed, with profound effect. let's hope the practice can be revived. maybe all that's needed is this simple example.
I love stories like this that portray family relationships, in this case a father/son bond, to children in a real way.
Many children can relate to this book and text is simple enough for emerging readers to read.

DH would like this one more than I do simply because it's a story about a father's weekly breakfast tradition with his son. I liked the idea of the story, but it wasn't too entertaining.
'Oswald' is a great bizarre cartoon created by Dan Yaccarino and it's rare to see a kid's book that's slanted for the father instead of the mom... so I'm a fan on a few levels.

This is my son's favorite book. He loves the illustrations and thinking about special time with his Papa or me. It's a quick read, just a sentence or two on each page.
PUBLICATION DATE 2007: This is a cute book about a dad and a boy who have breakfast every Friday morning together. Good father's day book.
A wonderful story about a father and son's weekly Friday morning routine that will inspire readers to start their own traditions with the big or small people in their lives.
Cute and simple story of a father and son going on their weekly "date." The illustrations were old-fashioned, 50s style. A sweet book.
Kids like routines and alone time, and in this book the boy gets both. Lucky boy! Cute book with great illustrations.
Every Friday a little boy and his dad go to breakfast at the local diner. Well done and very simple.
Sweet story. Even better that it's truly the way Dan. Y spends Fridays.

Cute short book for little boys and their Dad's.
3.5-4.5 stars... cute!
Cute story of a father/son weekly tradition of having breakfast together. I really like the way the illustrations mix the black and white backgrounds with color foregrounds. Lots of details to look at in the pictures. Things going on in the background that are worth noticing.
I love the concept of this book - every Friday, a boy and his father go out together for breakfast and take a look at the world around them. I also love the really old-school illustrations and the deatils of the city people walking down the street.
Every Friday was a very nice book that will give you a warm fuzzy feeling inside. It just isn't spectacular though. I would definitely recommend it for story time because it is neat to see the parent/child interaction.
one sentence per page. story of boy who goes to breakfast with his dad every friday before they go to school/work. pictures tell most of the story as they walk through the city.
This is a cute father and son story that talks about the special bond beetween them. This would be a nice story for boys to read with the fatehrs around fathers day.
This is a good book if your child has a sweet and responsible father. If they don't I think it may make them feel bad.
got it for father's day. i cried. say no more...
AWESOME!
