Overview / 简介: |
“I just went to the store!”
What happens one frantic week when everyone forgets to put the things they need on Mom’s shopping list? First, it’s cookies, but no milk. Then macaroni, no cheese. And don’t even ask about the toilet paper!
Newcomer Kristen Darbyshire’s quirky humor, fresh, graphic style, and sweetly expressive family of chickens will make this a favorite with kids . . . and the beleaguered grocery shoppers in their lives.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-K—A family of anthropomorphized chickens keeps running out of household staples. Mom tells everyone to put the needed items on the shopping list that's posted on the refrigerator, but they ignore the directive and just complain when supplies run out. Things get really bad: "It was boo-boo, no Band-Aid…wet baby, no diaper…macaroni, no cheese…peanut butter, no jelly." And then the toilet paper runs out. When Mom serves a "peanut butter and pickled grub on macaroni casserole," it is decided that everyone needs to pitch in and help. The situation improves, even as the family acknowledges that if things go awry again, they can always order a pizza. The chickens are depicted as stick figures with large round heads. The gouache illustrations are spare, with ink outlines and solid-colored backgrounds. An amusing cautionary tale for families everywhere.—Ieva Bates, Ann Arbor District Library, MI

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Like so many households, the chicken family keeps running out of food items and daily essentials. No syrup to go with the pancakes on Monday, no toothpaste to go with the toothbrushes on Tuesday, and no milk to go with the cookies on Wednesday. What a relief when it's finally shopping day on Thursday. But the chickens learn the hard way (what, no toilet paper?!) that shopping without a list quickly leads to the same problem. This amusing book provides a good opportunity to introduce young children to some basic concepts in economics, including consumers, goods, and household work.
