When Kaleb goes grocery shopping with Mom, he always rides in the cart . . . but the ride is never this exciting! This time the cart—with Kaleb in it—rolls out of the parking lot and into the street, and he’s off licketysplit on a traffic-stopping adventure. Hilarious neighborhood characters chase after the runaway cart as it zips on by. Kaleb’s exhilarating trip leaps from every page in boldly colored illustrations rendered with a stylish sense of fun. The tale, a twist on the classic Golden Goose, ends happily with Kaleb’s cart rolling back into the parking lot, where it all began. Phew!

Cute, fun, quick. As a lover of picture books, I'd add this to my library (if it wasn't out of print) but I think I'm getting too old for these :-( I kept thinking of the stupid mother, leaving her child in the cart with the grocery store worker while she went back in for ice cream!That said...I wanted to be in the shopping cart! There was a nice rhythm to the chase and regardless of my thoughts on the the mother, the end was funny!

Thank you!
I have no idea why the captcha thing is showing up. I've got the setting marked "no" that I don't want it. Grrrrrr! But, I believe that if you skip entering anything it will post.
