Another wonderful story by Debi Gliori, in which Mr Bear decides to take his baby on a picnic, leaving Mrs Bear in bed. The fun starts when they are joined by the Grizzle-Bear children, much to Mr Bear's dismay. Lack of food for the picnic forces them to look for suitable alternatives to eat and the story unfolds. The illustrations are excellent and really make the story come alive.
