Overview

The sky is bright. The morning is green. What a glorious day for a picnic!

So it is that a large and jubilant mouse family pile into their old red truck and go bouncing down a shady country road to the lake. Out comes the big picnic hamper. Out comes the bat and ball and Grandpa's banjo. Out leap nine little mouse children, running through the field flowers to water's edge.

But wait a minute! Are there really nine? Somebody seems to be missing. And nobody will be happy until she is found.

Emily Arnold McCully's lush summer-drenched watercolors tell a story that needs no words, filling the pages with the giddy joys of a large family picnic and the pluckiness of one small mouse who left it behind.

A little mouse gets lost on the way to a family picnic.

Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews
In what promises to be the first of a series of do-overs, McCully offers repainted, but by-and-large identical, illustrations and a brief text for an originally wordless offering from 1984. Once again a multitudinous mouse clan piles into the pickup and jounces off down a country road for a pond-side picnic. But "no one sees Little Bitty fall off the truck," or notices the missing sib until considerably later. Switching back and forth between the family and its stranded member, McCully shows the latter becoming more self-confident as the former grows more frantic. But the hue and cry ends in a happy reunion, and it's "picnic time at last!" The added words, which are mostly snatches of dialogue or song, are more distraction than enhancement (the original was perfect in its wordlessness), but it's good to have this sprightly family adventure available again, and in a larger format, too. (Picture book. 5-7)

    my class read my book.

    The whole family had a picnic. They drove a jeep. They brought some food like cheese, salad, sandwiches and a guitar to play. A mouse got lost. They found the mouse. I like this book a lot.

    Cheery picture book invites great kid talk on safety!

    Little mouse accidentally bounces away from her family when they are all headed out for a picnic. Though the family doesn't notice at first, when they realize someone is missing, the search is on! Great story to open discussion on seat belts and staying safe if you are lost. Plus, even youngest kids can enjoy 'reading' it since the whole book is beautifully illustrated.
