Mom’s Review
Oh those poor, unwanted animals!
As the repetition and rhythm of the book get the reader chanting along and anticipating the next animal surprise, the expressively illustrated animals touch the reader’s heart. The story follows a young shopper who always gets an animal whose name rhymes with the desired item until the shopkeepers sheepishly arrive to remedy the problem. Fans of We’re Going on a Bear Hunt will be pleased with this new offering from the well-known team.
