Using the traditional tale but embellishing it to create a whole day's worth of activity, Watts pictures a community of animals going for a picnic on the edge of a farm village. Each stage of the race features different landscapes, with detailed watercolors in lush pastel colors. This is a version that can be explored again and again as new stories are discovered in the pictures.
