Bookroo's summary
During a grocery trip, Tyya's dad refuses to buy treats. But when Tyya stands still, she's mistaken for a lifelike doll, sparking a humorous checkout argument. Will this mix-up finally get her something good?
From the publisher
Tyya is grocery shopping with her dad, but he’s not letting her pick any of the good stuff like cookies, ice cream, or candies. When she holds still and is mistaken for the best, most lifelike doll in the supermarket, an argument at the till leads her dad to buy something good after all. A newly designed Classic Munsch picture book introduces this tale of mistaken merchandise to a new generation of young readers.
