Seven Babies Go to the Supermarket

Ever wondered what would happen if seven babies were let loose in a supermarket? Wonder no longer!

In this bright, busy and brilliantly funny follow-up to Seven Babies, join the "helpful" babies as they stack shelves, restock fruit and vegetables, bake bread, pack shopping and cause just the right amount of chaos along the way!

Perfect for sharing with babies and toddlers, this joyful story celebrates imaginative play and everyday adventures through Forest Xiao's bold, graphic illustrations and irresistible visual humour. Packed with familiar supermarket scenes and plenty of objects to spot and name, it's a book little ones will return to again and again.

- A PERFECT gift for 2–4-year-olds and for sharing in nurseries and early years settings.
- Celebrates the magic of roleplay (who DOESN'T want to play shop?), which will help fuel little ones’ storytelling and their creative thinking.
- Supports early vocabulary development through clear, graphic illustrations of everyday objects.
- Encourages interactive "point and name" gameplay as children spot items throughout the supermarket.
- Introduces early sorting and categorisation concepts through different supermarket departments, from the bakery and butcher to the fruit and vegetable aisles.

PRAISE FOR SEVEN BABIES:
Seven Babies is shortlisted for the Klaus Flugge Prize and was shortlisted in the Picture Book category for the 2026 Indie Book Awards.

“A wonderfully joyful picture book for introducing children to the concept of having a sibling” – Waterstones

“The babies’ expressive round faces recall Helen Oxenbury ’s drawings, but Xiao’s art has a zingier colour palette and a wildness of its own. It’s one of the cutest, and perhaps best, picture book portrayals of new parenthood that I’ve ever read” – The Observer

“Xiao’s delightful debut, exploring the everyday chaos that comes with having a baby in your life, has a similar look (and as much warmth) as Helen Oxenbury’s A First Book for Babies series.” – The Bookseller
