Chimpanzees for tea!

Description

One day, Vincent s mother asks him to go to the store to pick up a few items: a bunch of carrots, a box of rice, some China tea, a big, firm pear, and a tin of peas to be precise. And hurry home in time for dinner! she says. Remembering a grocery list that long is hard enough, but it becomes even more challenging when you have friendly neighbors distracting you at every turn! All of a sudden, a tin of peas is replaced by a trapeze; a big, firm pear becomes a big furry bear; and a box of rice transforms into a box of mice! By the time Vincent gets to the store, he has created a very different grocery list! This fun story is filled with repetition, a bit of rhyming, fresh, childlike art, and just the right type of silly humor that is appealing to kids.

Description

When Vincent gets sent to the shop by his mother and loses his shopping list, he believes he can remember everything that was on it but ends by picking up all sorts of unexpected items.
