We're Going On A Picnic

We're Going On A Picnic

Summary

It's a perfect day for a picnic so Hen picks some berries, Goose picks some apples and Duck picks some pears. Then the three friends set off to look for the perfect spot to enjoy their feast.

But the three friends aren't the only ones who are hungry. As the picnic basket gets lighter and lighter, readers will be laughing harder and harder.

A wonderfully funny tale from the creator of Rosie's Walk
