Bear Goes Shopping by Harriet Ziefert and Arnold Lobel: Bear goes shopping each day of the week for items revealed by fold-outs.
Written by Harriet Ziefert, illustrated by Arnold Lobel. 1986, first edition, first printing. Harper & Row, Publishers.
"Bear likes to shop a little every day. What does he buy? See if you can guess."
"It's Monday. Bear is going to the bakery. What will he buy? See if you can guess."
Lift the fold-out to reveal Bear buying cupcakes, one for himself and one for Mama. And so it goes Monday thru Friday. On Saturday he mows the yard, on Sunday he rests.
