Summary

It's Saturday, and Jo has some money to spend. So she and her mom go shopping, while Dad stays at home to make lunch. She is thinking what should her money buying for. The cookies and cakes at Mrs Tomaselli's bakery look delicious but so do the rosy red apples at the fruit stand. Jo can't decide, she'll have to wait and see. In the end, Jo finds a surprising and generous way to use her money which brings some unexpected rewards and the tale closes with an entertaining and ingenious twist. This is a beautifully told and sympathetic story set in the context of an interracial family and accompanied by Eileen Browne's bright, realistic illustrations that capture the happy bustle of a shopping expedition.

Pros

The main attraction was that the family are ethnically diverse. Jo is a young brown skinned girl with afro puffed pigtails. Jo’s mum is of similar skin tone and wears braids styled with blue beads. Jo’s dad has blonde hair and fair skin. The book stays true to its style with bright illustrations of Jo’s culturally diverse local community. [2]

This is a lovely story which had many years of use for such a long time, and present children loves them too. The illustrations are fantastic. Extremely detailed with lots to look at. It would make the children interested to listen to this book. This book is aimed at around five years and up. Really good books for children when they are learning to read. [3]
