Picnic by John Burningham
One day Boy and Girl go out for a picnic. They meet all sorts of creatures along the way - some come with them and some chase them, but whatever happens, today will be a day for Adventure!
A delicate echo of Burningham’s much-loved Mr Gumpy’s Outing -- Julia Eccleshare * Guardian *
