Synopsis
Setting out to pick up some things from the store entails more than a brave family bargains for in this funny flight of fancy from Allan Ahlberg and André Amstutz.
On the day Mom goes shopping with her young daughter, baby Harry, and Wilf the Wonderdog, she starts by making her usual grocery list. But with Allan Ahlberg at the helm, what begins as a mundane shopping trip can quickly become just a little unusual. With the help of whimsically detailed illustrations by André Amstutz, this persistent family treks through a blizzard and under the desert sun, into a jungle of tropical beasts, and even across the sea. But what will they find at the end of their journey?

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
