From Booklist
In this entertaining read-aloud, a cheerful family can’t seem to get through their picnic without problems. Who knew that squirrels and soccer balls could make a simple picnic so complicated? Mr. and Mrs. Simple teach their children that a picnic is when you pack food in a basket, spread out a blanket, and eat on the ground. But even with their preparedness, things seem to constantly go wrong. Just when the Simples are about to give up on their picnic, son Ben has a great idea that saves the day—free of ants and melted ice cream! Phillipps introduces the family via individual, smiling portraits and utilizes colorful paper cut-out illustrations and bold-faced exclamations to capture the characters’ dynamic chemistry and the kooky chaos that ensues. The underlying message comes through clearly beneath the high jinks: picnics are really about spending quality time with the people who matter most. Preschool-Grade 3. --Annie Miller
