Content

Going shopping involves working your way down your shopping list, browsing, trying things on – and there's often some whining as well. Young children frequently come along to supermarkets, pharmacies, shoe stores, bakeries and other shops. They are keen to help the adults select, weigh and pack, often straining the patience of everyone involved when there are disagreements on what should end up in the shopping cart. A shopping game at the end of the book invites children to actively participate.
