Customer Reviews

My son’s favorite book. We still read it 16 years later.

Such a silly fun book. Easy to read and simple pictures with the words spelled out nearby. My kids loved to point to the word and then I would read “corn” and then we would look for what picture showed the corn. Great for showing the connection between words and their meanings. The story is fun and everyday. My kids still love the memories we made with this book. I know all of the words by heart and it is still fun to read.

a great storytime choice

I enjoyed this book as much as my little cousin did when it came to babysitting reading. Bert and Ernie's grocery list take them through produce, dairy and deli departments and aisles labeled with the words for many foods. Of course Bert is determined to stick to the list, and enthusiastic Ernie 'helps' by bringing unnecessary treats. Cookie Monster is there, too, anxiously searching for the only aisle that really matters. With all the distractions, Bert must remember to pick up oatmeal.

No childhood is complete without it

Being a kid growing up in the 80s, Muppets were everywhere! And I loved them (Grover is the best). This was one of my ultimate favorite books as a child. And I still love it. I only hope my copy is in good enough condition when I have kids so that they can love it too!

My daughter wanted it read over and over!

Bert & Ernie go shopping. They have a list, but keep getting distracted. Will they remember the oatmeal that they started out to get? Rhyming foods, like "cheesie pleasie" children pick up on and use again and again. When she was 3 to 5 it was one of her favorite books.
