Jill Murphy, creator of the classic Five Minutes Peace here makes the worst (read most public) kind of toddler tantrum into a blissfully funny picture book. A trip to the supermarket starts well with toddler Ruby in high spirits and determined to help Mum, but when Mum makes A BIG MISTAKE allowing Ruby to hold her cake rather than put it in the trolley, it all goes quickly and horribly wrong. Every child will laugh at the shocking display of naughtiness from Ruby, and every mum will laugh – possibly even louder – in recognition of the situation. Ruby and her mum might be rabbits in the pictures but their gestures and expressions are exactly those of mums and toddlers everywhere, as once again Murphy pins down a slice of toddler life. ~ Andrea Reece
