From the Publisher:

Join Mouse and Minka for a summer picnic in this sunny Classic Board Book.

Mouse and Minka invite you to celebrate summer with a picnic in the park. Roll down the hill on tickly green grass. Fly fluttery kites high in the sky. Enjoy some juicy watermelon! And before it’s time to go home, a summer surprise sparkles in the sky.

Now available as a Classic Board Book, this seasonal story is ideal for the youngest readers—and the smallest hands.

Leah’s Thoughts:

This one is just right for toddlers and preschoolers. The simple sentences, bright colors, and picnic fun make it a great intro to summer things: kites, watermelon, lemonade, and all the little joys of a warm day outside. Perfect for reading before a summer outing or park picnic (or at the park!).
