A grocery run takes an unexpected turn

A missing bunch of bananas sets up this mother-daughter outing, but the little girl soon takes charge of the shopping trip. The store’s familiar rules—what goes in the cart, and who gets to push it—become the ingredients for comic trouble. Framed as a read-aloud with lively illustrations, the 48-page picture book turns an everyday errand into a playful story about a child’s attempt to make the trip her own, and the mishap that follows.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • A fit for children ages 4–8 who enjoy humorous stories about everyday family life.
  • Well suited to shared read-alouds, especially for families familiar with grocery shopping with young children.

Book overview

A belly laugh-inducing tale about a mother-daughter trip to the store that goes absolutely bananas when a little girl takes the task of grocery shopping into her own hands.

It all started when Mom said we were out of bananas.

But who likes going to the grocery store? Especially with Moms who always say "no" to sugar cereals and don't let you ride in the cart. But for one little kid, the perfect opportunity rolls by when Mom is busy chatting with neighbors. It turns out, the store isn't boring AT ALL if you're the one pushing the cart! But where are the bananas? And what happens when you find yourself IN the cart, hurtling down an aisle at full speed

With lively illustrations, this funny read-aloud narrates a true-to-life tale about the total nuisance that is grocery shopping with your parents, and the sweet result of an event that goes hilariously wrong.
