Bookroo's summary

Raccoon is anxious about a picnic with Duck, imagining bees, rivers, and even dragons. But Duck believes in the magic of unexpected surprises. Can Raccoon overcome his fears and enjoy the adventure?

From the publisher

A warm, funny tale for little worriers At first, Raccoon thought a picnic with his friend Duck sounded like fun, but he’s having second thoughts. After all, picnics can be very dangerous. They might get attacked by bees, or fall into the river, or even run into a giant, fire-breathing dragon who lives in a cave! Yes, a picnic is a very bad idea indeed. Luckily, Duck knows that even though you can’t plan for the unexpected, there’s no reason to be afraid of it, because some surprises in life can be wonderful.
