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!

Praise for Picnic

A delicate echo of Burningham’s much-loved Mr Gumpy’s Outing

Julia Eccleshare, Guardian

The book invites children to identify the characters, and to point to them and to lost objects. The drawings carry their sophisticated skill lightly… An ideal step forwards from board books
