A familiar story of differing viewpoints between mother and child is presented in charmingly simple cumulative verse and rebuses. A young boy is packing for a trip to visit his grandmother. He fills a shopping bag with his mitt, cars, space ship, wooden animals, his favorite stuffed rabbit, his pillow, a book, a flashlight. But then along comes mom with ideas of her own! Each object that he decides to take is introduced with a full-page illustration done in watercolor and colored pencil. Then, as it is added to the items "that I'll pack in the bag I'm taking to Grandma's," the book takes a rebus format, so beginning readers will soon be able to "tell" the story as it goes along. Children will identify with the boy, as parents will relate to the mother. This is a real winner that will be great fun for story times, as well as for one-on-one sharing.
