Description

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 truly exciting new book from John Burningham, in the grand tradition of MR GUMPY'S OUTING, with a wonderfully cosy ending

About the Author
John Burningham was born in 1936. He studied illustration at the Central School of Art. His first children's book, Borka, was published in 1963, and it was awarded the Kate Greenaway Medal as the best illustrated book of the year. John Burningham collaborated with Ian Fleming on Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang, designing the model of the famous car. He lived in London with his wife Helen Oxenbury, also a well-known author and illustrator. John Burningham died on January 4th, 2019.

Reviews
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 -- Nicolette Jones * Children's Book of the Week, The Sunday Times *

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.

Found a hard to get book…

Finding a hard to get book on Booksplease and with it not being an over inflated price was great. Ordering was really easy with updates on despatch. The book was packaged well and in great condition. I will certainly use them again.
