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. "These expressive characters radiate warmth and family love in even their worst moments"" -- Publisher's Weekly The book is part of a series which includes Mr Bear Babysits and Mr Bear to the Rescue . (Ages 3 and up) -- Susan Naylor "
