I Shop With My Daddy (level 1) (Hello Reader)

Father and daughter banter cheerfully up and down the grocery store aisles and finish up their shopping chores with a delicious treat, in an early reader story filled with playful rhymes. Original. Gr. 1. The simple, rhyming text of this Hello Reader! book (just a few words to the page) takes readers on a shopping trip to the grocery store with a little girl and her father. They choose plenty of healthy foods, but every time the child suggests something sweet, "Daddy says, `Not today.' / So I put it away." The expedition ends happily with a stop at a frozen yogurt stand outside the store. Children will find plenty that is familiar within these pages, from the supermarket setting to the tug-of-war between parent and child. Best of all, the cartoonlike line-and-wash illustrations make the characters sympathetic and the book inviting, all the while providing clues to the words with clear pictures of familiar foods. A good choice for children looking for books that don't look babyish but have very simple vocabulary. Carolyn Phelan Used Book in Good Condition
