Supermarket Books for Children

Playing supermarket is a favorite in our homeschool. I even created a fantastic supermarket pretend play kit for the kids to use while playing their favorite type of dramatic play. Since they are so interested in supermarkets, I thought it would be a great idea to focus on some books that also revolve around supermarkets. Let’s jump into our list of supermarket books for children. Before we begin, please take a moment and pin this post to your reading or homeschool board.

In her signature style, Anne Rockwell conveys the adventure of a trip to the supermarket from a young child’s point-of-view.
