Don't Forget The Oatmeal! A Word Book

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.

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!

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.
