Synopsis: Sunday nights are special for Evie and Grandma. That's when they go on their weekly shopping spree. Grandma flips open the newspaper to see what's advertised, and the imaginary tour of neighbourhood stores begins. Toting a wallet filled with colourful pretend bills, Evie and Grandma takes turns "buying" whatever catches their fancy. A big chunk of ham, a "sofa with a secret," and a dress with spangles are just a few of the treasures they "purchase." Most special of all is the jewelry box Evie chooses for the gold heart necklace Mama gave her before leaving to serve in the army -- and the bouquet of flowers Evie leaves as a surprise for Grandma. Overflowing with whimsy and a sweet grandmothergranddaughter relationship, Sunday Shopping is a joyous celebration of imagination and family love. Next Sunday, readers of all ages are sure to grab the newspaper and some play money and embark on their own shopping adventures.
