Format:Hardcover
I am thinking of buying this book as when we don't have it out from the library my two year old twins miss it terribly and when we do have it out they ask for it to be read repeatedly.
The story has one phrase per page "In you go, jump in dog, down the road, ...". This simple story is enriched with a mass of detail in the pictures that can lead to lots of conversation.

Sarah Garland excels in making real life stories for toddlers. This is the simplest plot - mum is taking her child and baby to the shops, something every toddler has experienced. She doesn't make the experience too wonderful, it can be a bit trying, but also exciting too. Her delight is that there is always something new to be discovered in the familiar and her books are well worth purchasing. Great series!
Format:Hardcover
While there's very little text in this story and the sentences used are very short, the illustrations contain a rich narrative of their own for shared discussions. The story is told subtly from the mother's point of view with a realistic irony that will ring true for many parents.
There's opportunities to discuss different kinds of shopping with the various other characters like the lady who looks as though she might be from Sierra Leone, carrying her shopping along the road in a bag; those who drive to the supermarket and use a trolley; why dogs aren't allowed inside the shop. etc.
However, if you're looking for a story that teaches children about purchasing items then the scenes in the supermarket are disappointing, as the produce provides only a blurry backdrop. Nevertheless, it's a charming tale.
