Sunday nights are special for Evie and Grandma. That's when they go on their weekly shopping spree. Grandma flips open the newspaper to see what s advertised, and the imaginary tour of neighborhood stores begins. Toting a wallet filled with colorful pretend bills, Evie and Grandma take turns "buying" whatever catches their fancy. A big chunk of ham, a sofa with a secret, and a dress with spangles are just a few of the treasures they purchase. Most special of all is the jewelry box Evie chooses for the gold heart necklace Mama gave her before leaving to serve in the army and the bouquet of flowers Evie leaves as a surprise for Grandma. Overflowing with whimsy and a sweet grandmother-granddaughter relationship, this picture book is a joyous celebration of imagination, family love, and making a lot out of what you've got.

From School Library Journal K-Gr 2—Filled with heartfelt homespun sentiment, Derby's latest picture book is an homage to imagination and familial love. It is Sunday night, and young Evie and her grandmother don their pajamas, crawl into bed, and grab a pair of scissors and a newspaper for their weekly shopping adventure. Grandma wears her feathered blue hat, and Evie carries her big black purse. As they turn the newspaper pages, they make believe. First, they purchase a ham from Hook's Grocery—it's on sale today! And Hills's Furniture is closing. They could use a new rug. At Pace's Jewels and Treasures, Evie finds a beautiful box, perfect for the necklace Mama gave her before she left for the army. And the shopping continues, all purchases paid for with brightly colored "bills" that Grandma allocates for each shopping trip. Children and adults alike will find a little bit of their own upbringing in the shared adventures with Grandma and Evie. Grandma's wise advice and nurturing manner are comforting and familiar without being overly sentimental. Strickland's illustrations are a vibrant mix of watercolor, acrylic, and wax pencil, digitally interspersed with fanciful, oversize images of whimsy and delight. VERDICT A splendid choice for collections in need of picture books that feature African American characters, but, more significantly, a lovely title that celebrates imagination and the importance of family.—Carol Connor, Cincinnati Public Schools, OH

Jennings I found this amusingly nostalgic because when I was about five years old, my sister and I used to cut up mail order catalogs and tape our favorite things to pieces of construction paper. This is a cute little story about Evie and her grandma doing that version of "window-shopping". The narration by Evie has a definite childlike train of thought, for example:"I choose a pink and white skirt, a fuzzy sweater, purple tights, and purple barrettes for my hair. That's what I'll wear when I win the gold trophy for Best Second-Grade Speller in Ohio. I'm already the best second-grade speller in my school. I won when I spelled SCISSORS right, after Curtis Williams left out the 'c'. "Even though there are two or three paragraphs of text on each page, the language is simple enough for younger kids to understand, and older ones (and parents) will appreciate the detailed descriptions and made-up names of products and stores.The illustrations are whimsical, colorful, and clever...Evie and grandma interacting with larger-than-life-size versions of the items and people they've cut from the advertisements.One word of warning...there is one part which is, or might be, sad: it's only mentioned a couple of times, and the details are vague: "mama gave me my necklace the day she left for the army." Everywhere she goes, Evie wears a locket with her mom's picture in it. At the end, she "buys" flowers and places them beside her mom's picture before she goes to bed. We COULD assume that her mom is alive and well and coming back at the end of her tour, and Evie is only at Grandma's temporarily, but it's never stated or implied whether the mom is alive or dead. And kids will probably ask.

We put in play money I bought and the newspaper ads of things they wanted to "buy" in the purses which kept them busy having fun on a car trip! Beautiful illustrations and story of fun things to do without spending lots of money.
