Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-Gr 2-Kaleb waits outside in the shopping cart while his mother pops back into the store for a forgotten item. After the grocery boy pushes the cart to the car, he sneezes a great big sneeze, letting go of the cart, and it begins to roll. In Gingerbread Man fashion, the bright red cart-with a smiling Kaleb inside-acquires a train of followers as it bolts, zooms, and zips through town. Kwas's bright, modern-looking graphics sweep youngsters along to the journey's conclusion, back at the store just as Mom returns. Creative layouts and expressively rendered figures bring life to what could be just another cumulative tale. Even a stop sign gets star treatment with a little extra razzle-dazzle. Long peppers her repeating passages with just enough variation to keep readers rolling along through the text. A fun and eye-catching addition to any picture-book collection.-Jayne Damron, Farmington Community Library, MI (c) Copyright 2010.

Review by Horn Book Review
Kaleb takes his usual spot in the cart while grocery shopping with his mom. Through a series of far-fetched events, Kaleb's cart rolls out of the parking lot and through the streets of town. Kaleb has the time of his life and eventually returns safely to his unsuspecting mother. The bright, bold, angular illustrations heighten the humor of this cumulative adventure. (c) Copyright 2010.
