Piglet's Picnic: A Story about Food and Counting — Jessica Souhami

One sunny day, Piglet invites her friends on a picnic by the river, asking them to bring their favorite food. On her way to the picnic, she is joined by mice, blackbirds, frogs, dogs, and sheep. All the animals have brought packages and bags to share, but when they unpack them, they discover that each animal has brought food that no one else eats. The sheep have brought grass; the dog has brought a bone; and the blackbirds have brought wriggly worms -- disgusting! It looks as if the picnic will be a disaster . . . until clever Piglet opens her basket to reveal 12 delicious little cakes. This lift-the-flap counting book weaves sharing and simple numbers into an appealing story with lively collage illustrations and a brilliant read-aloud text.
