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.


Sam Wedelich lives in Nyack, NY with her family. Her newest picture book is A Quick Trip to the Store, but she's also the creator of the popular Real and Totally True Chicken Little series and the illustrator for Farting Fish by Alice Harman and Bearplane! by Deborah Underwood. She loves making fun and funny books for kids and their grown-ups.
