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!

This book is a hilarious, punny, alliterative take on a routine trip to the grocery store. But, I have a feeling nothing is mundane or routine with Max.
He makes every part of the task seem like an adventure from picking the right cart to picking the right food to picking the right route. Max and his mom have a realistic relationship, with roles that feel familiar to my family.
My 5yo has memorized it after having the book for less than a month. That's pretty high praise.
Can't wait for Max to explain everything in his next book!
