The Shopping Expedition

By Allan Ahlberg

Book Overview

Setting out to pick up some things from the store entails more than a brave family bargains for in this funny flight of fancy from Allan Ahlberg and Andr? Amstutz. On the day Mom goes shopping with her young daughter, baby Harry, and Wilf the Wonderdog, she starts by making her usual grocery list. But with Allan Ahlberg at the helm, what begins as a mundane shopping trip can quickly become just a little unusual. With the help of whimsically detailed illustrations by Andr? Amstutz, this persistent family treks through a blizzard and under the desert sun, into a jungle of tropical beasts, and even across the sea. But what will they find at the end of their journey?

We love the Ahlberg's books. I was sorry to hear that his wife passed away. This would be quite a cute book to share with a small child as one looks at what is going and all the different things to talk about in the pictures.
