by Matt Harvey (Author), Miriam Latimer (Illustrator)
"The cartoon mixed-media illustrations depict a lively hubbub amid plenty of color in the spilled ketchup, jars of pickles, etc., and various styles of dress on the diverse mix of people. Funny and warmhearted, this story will be enjoyed one-on-one and handy in classrooms where fingers are pointed" -- School Library Journal Join a father-daughter duo as a simple shopping trip becomes a calamity! As their cart swings down the aisles, the pair create minor mishaps left and right. The rhyming, bouncy text teaches an important lesson about accidents and responsibility, all with a healthy dose of humor.
