Shopping with Dad

By Matt Harvey

Book Overview

With a list handed to them by Mom, Dad and a little girl go grocery shopping. Some strange things are on the list such as: "strong Anti-Grump Pills and a Bucket of Worms." When the little girl almost bumps into a pile of cans, she is put in the shopping cart and told to sit very still. Then she develops a sneeze that makes Dad jump. He bumps the woman beside him. The bump passes down a long line of people and ends by knocking over the pyramid display of cans. People look for a person to blame and point to Dad, but the little girl confesses to the sneeze that started it all. Dad then says to those giving them "hard looks," "Oops! Accidents happen, it's always a shame, But when push comes to shove, there's no one to blame." Then Dad starts to pick up the cans and everyone helps. The heart-warming story is told through rhyme. Fast-paced and funny, this book is a fantastic read-aloud! Ages: 3-7 Colour illustrations
