The Most Perfect Spot

Experience a picnic in the park with Mama and Jack, where nothing seems to go right, but fun is had by all – and a little dog joins the family.
 With "And then, who knows why..." as the cheerful refrain, Diane Goode tells how a boy's plan to give his mother a perfect picnic in the park goes hilariously awry. Kids will spot the little dog who's the cause of the mischief on every spread, making the refrain even more fun! Without preaching, this visual adventure shows that you can be happy even when things don't go just right. And the large, animated scenes picture all the fun with an expressive, lively line and inviting color

Animals

It's a sunny morning, and Jack knows the perfect spot to take Mama for a picnic -- the park, of course!
But things don't work out as Jack planned! There are lots of lively surprises before he and Mama find their picnic spot -- one as unexpected and familiar as it is perfect. The friendly, funny story of their day unfolds in breezy, energetic pictures filled with 
quacking ducks, high-stepping horses, frisky dogs, and yakety-yaking people.
When mishaps happen, children will especially enjoy the refrain "who knows why" because they'll know why! And they'll welcome the biggest and best surprise that's been saved for last.

Come not to the table without having read this book!You Are Invited What: To share a meal Where: The Abbotts’ house When: As soon as you open this book But watch out – the Abbotts and their dogs have absolutely atrocious table manners. They speak with their mouths full, complain about the food they are serving, and argue in front of the company. The Abbotts also violate some more obscure table-manner taboos, such as smelling their meat and staring what’s on the plate of a dinner companion. With rules lifted in the vernacular from an early-nineteenthcentury primer (the full text of the rules is appended), and uproarious pictures that do most of the storytelling, this is a lively and wonderful celebration of good manners.
