Mr. Gumpy's Outing - Hardcover

Críticas

"Mr. Gumpy's little scow becomes a miniature ark when he takes two children and one each of the various domestic animals for a ride. . . . The water appears so warmly inviting, and the tea they all share so satisfying, that the promise of the first glowing page is fulfilled. Burningham's sketchy yellow lines make the sun shine on his pages, and his animals--sometimes jaunty, more often appealingly hesitant--are his alone, unostentatiously distinctive. Mr. Gumpy has bumbling charm, and his outing is an unqualified pleasure." --Kirkus Reviews

"A real charmer of a picture book for the very young." --Booklist

"Mr. Grumpy's Outing is out of sight." --School Library Journal

Reseña del editor

As Mr. Gumpy enjoys a summer day on his small boat, he is accompanied by children, a rabbit, a cat, and a wealth of other animals, and soon the boat sinks causing everyone to fall into the water, but no one minds because the day is warm and Mr. Gumpy invites everyone over for tea! 40,000 first printing.
