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

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 *
