"Beautiful day!"
"Not a cloud in the sky!"
"A-picnicking we go!"
When Picnic was first published in 1984, readers fell in love with
Emily Arnold McCully's lush watercolors and charming story about a
little mouse who is reunited with her family. Now the Caldecott artist
has added words and painted bigger illustrations in her signature
whimsical style to accommodate a larger-sized read-aloud book. But what
has not changed is a timeless story about the hurt of being lost, and
the joy of being found again.
