Grandman Dean Goes Big Shopping follows young Dean and his grandfather, 'Pop Pop', on a trip to a big-box store, which they endearingly call 'big shopping'. Dean and Pop Pop's trip to the store is filled with many things that many people are used to; pushing the shopping cart, roaming the aisles, and best of all, finding the toy aisle.
What I loved most about this book was how it presented an everyday trip to the store as an adventure. This book is able to capture the unique view of the world that children have and bring it to life on the page with colorful images that are bright, simple, and adorable. Children will love pointing out all the cute toys found throughout the book and parents will undoubtedly recognize things they do in the store with their own children. Grandman Dean Goes Big Shopping shows that not every story needs to be about some wild fantasy world. Memories are made every day, within our normal lives, by doing them with the ones we love and creating our own fun. Grandman Dean Goes Big Shopping is the first book in author Warren Martin's Adventures with Pop Pop series. I really enjoy this down to earth children's series and I think any parent and child will as well.
