A brilliantly illustrated seek-and-find that dazzles even more than The Lost House, from the award-winning B. B. Cronin! Grandad is taking his grandchildren on a picnic in his jalopy. They ride on a busy highway full of cars and signs, past charming villages and topiary-filled parks, out into the country. But when they finally arrive at the picnic spot, they discover all their food has tumbled out of the car along the way! It’s up to readers to find the missing food so the family can enjoy their meal at last.
This book is filled with elaborate illustrations and a story that keeps readers looking for new surprises.
The illustrations are super cool—both the florescent colors and the illustration style itself are incredibly unique! This is a seek and find book, so it's less about the story (which is pretty weak) and all about all the fun things that are hidden throughout the story. You can both look for the things suggested on each page, or for other incredibly wonky things all over the place!
