A favorite childhood song brought to life by one of America's favorite illustrators, now in a sturdy board-book edition.

"If you go down in the woods today

You're sure of a big surprise.

If you go down in the woods today

You'd better go in disguise;

For ev'ry Bear that ever there was

Will gather there for certain, because

Today's the day the Teddy Bears

Have their picnic."

"The Teddy Bears' Picnic" has been sung and loved by English-speaking children throughout the world ever since it was written. The intrigue conjured up by the teddy bears picnicking independently of their owners continues to capture the imaginations of children everywhere.

Michael Hague's illustrations are simultaneously panoramic and detailed. Against the backdrop of country landscapes, lovable teddies of all shapes and descriptions picnic and play.
