Oh Dear, Look What I Got! by Michael Rosen illustrated by Helen Oxenbury*

 I love this author/illustrator team's book, We're Going on a Bear Hunt! Although I enjoyed their newest effort, I like We're Going on a Bear Hunt! better. 

Throughout one day a young boy is sent to pick up specific items at various shops. Each tim,  he returns with a drastically wrong item! The repeated phrases and rhyme will appeal to young listeners (& will also help beginning readers to build fluency). Prediction skills can be utilized if the reader observes the package shape & parts sticking out and also if the reader thinks of rhyming words. The ending is festive, sweet, and fun!

*Highly recommend.
