Knopf Books For Young Readers, November 2025

A belly laugh-inducing tale about a mother-daughter trip to the store that goes absolutely bananas when a little girl takes the task of grocery shopping into her own hands.

It all started when Mom said we were out of bananas.

But who likes going to the grocery store? Especially with Moms who always say “no” to sugar cereals and don’t let you ride in the cart. But for one little kid, the perfect opportunity rolls by when Mom is busy chatting with neighbors. It turns out, the store isn’t boring AT ALL if you’re the one pushing the cart! But where are the bananas? And what happens when you find yourself IN the cart, hurtling down an aisle at full speed??

With lively illustrations, this funny read-aloud narrates a true-to-life tale about the total nuisance that is grocery shopping with your grown-ups, and the sweet result of an event gone hilariously wrong.
