A picnic seems like an easy enough idea, but not if you have to chaperone two naughty bear cubs, a worrying cat, and a bull! When grandfather bear sets out the picnic he has so lovingly packed and carried, he soon finds himself having to decide how to save not only his lunch, but also his precious grandchildren, from the attention of a marauding bull. Or does he? Just have another look at those pictures! A delightful, uproariously funny picture book in which words and pictures do not always tell the same story - but both have a very happy ending.
