The Perfect Picnic

Author: Ciara Flood

Publisher: Templar

Squirrel and Mole do everything together, including going on picnics. Squirrel is determined that the picnic will be perfect, and that means trying out quite a few different places! But the meadow is too sunny, the hill is too windy, the beach is too sandy and the river is definitely far too wet.

Unfortunately, the picnic then gets lost on the way - but the other animals are there to help out.

A soft palette of colours in this picture book present a warm and comforting story about friendship and things working out in a different way than you expected.
