About This Book
Reach for this book when the weekly grocery run has turned into a battlefield of 'I wants' and 'put that backs.' Robert Munsch captures the high-energy, often chaotic reality of shopping with young children, providing a humorous mirror for both the frustrated parent and the impulsive child. It is a perfect choice for normalizing the friction that occurs when a child's desire for treats clashes with a parent's need for efficiency and healthy choices. The story follows Tyya and her father as they navigate the supermarket. After several attempts to sneak sugar-laden snacks into the cart, Tyya is told to sit still and not move, leading to a hilarious case of mistaken identity when a clerk mistakes her for a doll and slaps a price tag on her nose. It is a lighthearted look at family dynamics, the concept of 'something good,' and the unconditional love that exists even after a stressful public outing.
