Macaroni, no cheese; wet baby, no diapers; pancakes, no syrup: this is what happens in the Chicken household without a running grocery list. When things worsen, the family's pledge is renewed: use the list, help Mom with the shopping. The story presents a frustration more pertinent to adults than children. Bold black lines and bright blocks of color form appealing geometric illustrations.
