The four pages of this ""book"" are actually four panels that become the backdrop for a pretend shopping spree. Pop-up stores contain paper versions of produce, clothes, candy, and toys; prices can be added or hung nearby, while viewers can stash loot in the shopping bags provided. Brief instructions help with the set-up and clean-up, while a small booklet suggests games involving organization and elementary budgeting skills. This three-dimensional paper stage is sure to inspire lessons in math and object-naming, as well as some plain old pretend.
