Illustrated by
Miriam Latimer.
A father-daughter grocery run turns into an action-packed occasion when the daughter's "fantastic" sneeze sets off a chain of clumsy events. Amidst the canned-good chaos and finger pointing, Dad helps get things under control. The energetic rhyme is filled with onomatopoeia, exclamations, and clever wordplay that will delight read-aloud audiences. Colorful and lively acrylic illustrations include fun-to-find collage details.
