Review by Sherri Allen:

Take an ordinary picnic, add lots of whizzing, whooshing, tootling and lolloping, and you've got "The Best Picnic Ever," an engaging children's storybook by Clare Jarrett.

Jack and his mom go to the park for a picnic. After Jack wishes he had someone to play with, fanciful friends start appearing, ready to have fun.

Jarrett did an excellent job writing and illustrating "The Best Picnic Ever." The story's playful words are perfectly complemented by the lively colored-pencil drawings. I encourage you to share "The Best Picnic Ever" with your favorite picnic-loving preschooler.
