Something Good

 

Something Good

By Robert Munsch

The classic grocery store scene in which parents and kids war over what to eat is the focus of this story. Tyya, Andrew, and Julie are desperate for “something good” like ice cream, candy, or cookies. But dad’s a stickler for health. When a price sticker lands on dad’s nose, though, he might just be forced to take home something good.

About

This is a book that teaches about a little girl who pushes the cart through the store while shopping with her family. While pushing the cart, and the father preoccupied, she filled the cart with many items that were oh so yummy to her, but not something that her father would buy for her. The little girl is so frustrated that her dad never buys anything good. He finally tells her to not move, to leave things alone, and she is so still that she gets priced by a store worker. At the end of the story, the father cannot leave the store without paying for her at the register. She proclaims that her father had finally bought something that was good.
