Description

Walter de la Mare's poem for children comes to life in this beautifully atmospheric picture book. A farmer and his family enjoy a picnic dinner in the late summer sun, but their peaceful evening is soon disrupted by a lively chase through the field.

The sparse text and bright colors make it easy for young readers to spot the different animals as they pursue each other - from dog to horse, cows, pigs, chickens, and ducks. As the sun sets, all the animals settle down to sleep, making this a great bedtime read too.

With striking orange and yellow tones throughout, this book conjures up perfectly the feeling of a balmy late summer evening. The result is a charming picture book that will keep children engaged and entertained.
