Home in Seven Days follows the main character, a lost puppy "Molly", on daily adventures as she seeks a new home and sense of belonging. Her adventures ultimately meet up with "Bernie", a young boy yearning for a pet dog to soothe his loneliness. The book introduces the learning of the days of the week. Weather vocabulary is also intertwined - another important concept for early childhood learners. A simple tune set to the song "Oh My Darling Clementine" is an added reinforcement to learn the correct order of days of the week.
