(4) PS Before a boy and girl and their animal friends can enjoy their picnic, they first must hide from a charging bull and then find Sheep's hat, Pig's ball, and Duck's scarf. Occasional direct address ("Can you see it?") serves more to interrupt the flow than involve the listener. Burningham's signature scribbly, bold, colorful, and motion-filled drawings bolster a rather lackluster story.
