Loved this book. I would read this to a kindergarten or 1st grade student. I would definitely read this out loud and begin looking at cite words!
A little girl is telling about her mother's shopping expedition. Her mother is on a mission. She has a list of stuff she needs and is not letting anything stand in her way. The car brakes down and it starts to rain really hard but she still makes it to the store on time. She gets everything on her list. This was a short but good book. I would read it to kindergarten or 1st grade. I may not ever read it out loud but it is a good book to have for them to practice with.
