A sweet story about a grandfather and grandchild and their picnic adventure  This is the third picture book that features this loving pair.  Deciding to go on a picnic, the two set out to search for the ideal spot. Many of the pages depicting their adventure are full page spreads with full illustrations and little text. The illustrations done in ink and watercolor are detailed and vividly colored.Some of the events that take place are only imagined but the lines between reality and fantasy are blurred which is not a bad thing for this tale.  A story that can easily be reread many times with plenty of details you wouldn’t want to miss.
