Synopsis
A wonderful flight of the imagination in which an ordinary trip to the shops becomes an intrepid adventure. Come shopping with me and Mum and little Harry and Wilf the Wonderdog. But this is no ordinary shopping trip; the car breaks down, the rain keeps coming and the road becomes a jungle, then a river...It's an expedition where anything might happen; in fact, it probably will! A delightful picture book by an accomplished story-teller - a past winner of the Children's Book Award and a Blue Peter Award.

From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 2–What begins as an ordinary outing turns into an extraordinary adventure. Accompanied by her mother, baby brother, and Wilf the Wonderdog, a child sets out for the store with a mundane shopping list. The first obstacles are rather ordinary: ...the car broke down, but we kept going./The rain came down, but we kept going. As the journey progresses, both the events and the solutions become more unusual as the family encounters snow, passes through a thick jungle full of dangerous creatures, and finally crosses the sea to reach their destination. Amstutz's richly colored illustrations have a painterly look, often with visible brush strokes, that really suits the imaginative subject matter. The repetitive phrase keeps the pace of the story going and works well for reading aloud. A great addition for sharing in storytime or one-on-one.–Robin L. Gibson, formerly at Perry County District Library, New Lexington, OH
