This is a very simple book. It shows a bunch of animals having a picnic in the spring time. The cover shows two holes cut out, with what looks like two eyes looking out from the back page. The holes and the "eyes" don't make any sense on any page - and it is distracting for the reader. This illustrations show mice in shirts playing ball in the park. They show lizards and snails eating and drinking. The text is one sentence per page, telling what they are doing on that page. While it is very cute and promotes going to the park for a picnic - which is always a good time - this book fails to live up to any real expectations for me. ( )
