#blogbookaday: Max Explains Everything: Grocery Store Expert

Summary: 

“Max knows everything about trips to the grocery store because his parents make him go All. The. Time. Even when they run out of little things . . . like toilet paper. So he’s pretty much an expert. Whether it’s choosing the right breakfast cereal or surviving the obstacle course that is the produce section, Max is here to help. Having trouble talking mom into finally getting that puppy she promised? Picking up a bag of dog food might just be the push she needs! And always remember to keep your eyes on the prize–the checkout lane is your last chance to grab the real essentials. Candy! Full of humor and “helpful” tips, Max Explains Everything: Grocery Store Expert is the first in a delightful new picture book series starring kid-expert Max!” (Taken from Goodreads)

Review:

Max is a Grocery Store Expert, after all, he goes to the store at least once a week! He knows exactly what aisle the cookies are in, the reason you always put dog food in the cart, and being fast in the cereal aisle is a must. With Max’s help, you’ll be a pro the next time your parents drag you to the grocery store! Good Luck!

Personal Reaction: 

This is a fun story (and an accurate description of what happens at the grocery store!) Max knows how the grocery store is set up, what to look for and how long it will take and he wants to pass his knowledge on to fellow kids who are stuck heading to the grocery store too. This is an adorable take on a how-to manual for kids with great humor and illustrations that are sure to make you laugh!

This is a new idea I’m trying on my blog this year that was inspired by @donalynbooks and @heisereads – to provide a brief review of a picture book every day of 2018. You’ll get a brief summary of the story, a review of the content, illustrations and theme, my personal reaction to the book and all the pertinent publication information! Enjoy!
