A MINI version of the original Robert Munsch classic—perfect for party favors, trips, and more!

Tyya's dad never gets anything yummy at the grocery store, so she takes matters into her own hands.

“Something good” is exactly what Tyya, Andrew, and Julie want to put into their shopping cart. Tyya’s dad won’t buy anything good at the store—no ice cream, no candy, no cookies. She only wants 100 tubs of ice cream and 300 candy bars! But when the grocery store clerk puts a price sticker on Tyya’s nose, Daddy is finally forced to buy something good.

Michael Martchenko's profile page

“Martchenko’s exaggerated illustrations are a splendid complement to Munsch’s direct and pleasantly repetitive narration. The author’s popularity is already widely established, and this title should do well both in libraries and bookstores serving children of preschool and primary grades.”

“Build a bank of self-esteem with . . . SOMETHING GOOD.”
