Perhaps a little too good, because she stands so still a store clerk thinks she is a doll and puts a $29.95 price tag on her nose.
When Tyya’s father asks her to finally just stand still and wait for him to finish shopping, she listens like a very good little girl. Instead, she fills a shopping cart with 100 cartons! For example, when Tyya finds some ice cream she wants, she doesn’t just pick one carton. I think the exaggerations in the book are amusing and will definitely make kids laugh. Kids will sympathize with Tyya and her siblings. Every kid will relate to this story – at least the part about getting frustrated because the parent won’t buy them junk food (aka “something good”). The illustrations (by Michael Martchenko) are fun and kids will love them!. I loved that it was Dad at the grocery store with the kids, instead of the Mom. Here are my pros and cons for Something Good: Spoilers ahead… it is hard to review a picture book without revealing some plot details. I enjoyed that book quite a bit so I went back to Hoopla and selected another one of the author’s children’s books to read. Yesterday I posted a review for The Paper Bag Princess by this author. But when Daddy gets fed up and tells Tyya to “Stand here and Don’t Move!” Tyya knows she’s in big trouble. 
Tyya’s dad won’t buy anything good at the store-no ice cream, no candy, no cookies. “Something good” is exactly what Tyya, Andrew and Julie want to put into their shopping cart. Would I recommend it: Likely, but with a caveat Primary Genre(s): Children’s Picture Book
