Review: Just Shopping With Mom Book Review

This story is about three little kids and their mom shopping and they keep asking her for everything. It is by Stan and Jan Berenstain. They can't stop and they keep asking and asking then their mom gets very angry and says to stop. Now the kids get mad and they want to pay for their food and they leave the store. I like the book because it is funny. If you like the Berenstain Bears, you will like it, too!

Summary: Great for beginning readers!!
Review: Mercer Mayer writes wonderful books for beginning readers. My first grade daughter can read his books with relative easy, which helps her with her confidence. There are enough challenging words to keep her learning. She really enjoyed reading this book and pointing out to me how the sister was misbehaving. Rather than using the story as an excuse to misbehave, we use it as a learning tool. It is a story any parent can relate to!

Summary: just Shopping with mom book review
Review: My two-and-a-half-year old son loves the Little Critter books, but his mom and dad aren't nearly so fond of them. The books are fairly short, simply written and cover day-to-day topics (like taking a bath, or sharing with a friend, or in this case, taking a shopping trip with mom) from the young child's perspective, which probably explains why my son enjoys hearing them. But after reading several of these books, my son began mimicking the bad behavior illustrated in them (presumably intended by the author to get the young reader to laugh at and learn from the miscreant). He quickly learned how to whine "I want [fill in the blank]" just like the obnoxious kid sister in this book, having never done it before. Sure, it's probably a phase he would have entered anyway, but the fact that he is quoting, verbatim, bratty dialogue from various Critter books makes me loathe to recommend them to other parents. As an aside, I find the books rather charmless and the illustrations -- bizarre snaggle-toothed characters dressed in 19th-century clothing but depicted in 20th-century America -- bizarre and sometimes unsettling.

Summary: fun book for the family
Review: This is a cute book for the whole family. In JUST SHOPPING WITH MOM, mom is given the difficult task of shopping and keeping her children out of trouble. Little sister begs for candy and toys but mom tells her no. My children laughed at all the silly things little sister does in the grocery store. Parents everywhere will be able to relate to this story!
