Children's Book review

The first thing that strikes you about this book is the almost indestructible, 'toddler proof' paper, and the friendly rounded corners. This is definitely a title that can put up with some rough handling. It's an extremely simple story of a little girl's trip to the supermarket with her father. She rides in the trolley, sneaks a bite of baguette, chats to a friend and takes in everything around her. The text is made up entirely of expressive sounds: Yippee! Look! Mmm! Nice! Cheerio! which are just the kind of words that small children like to focus on – though the reader may want to elaborate around them to talk about what is happening in the pictures.
