Picnic on Great Island - Paperback

by John T. Cumbler (Author)

Back in the nineteenth century, in a quaint coastal town, a family sailed to Great Island for a picnic. Great Island was a very special place. Nobody lived there. At the tip, sat a beautiful white sandy beach behind which was a thick forest known as the enchanted woods. Almost no one went there, and children told stores of wild goings on in those mysterious woods.

After arriving and eating the picnic lunch, the children-Blueberry Girl, Emmett, and Raspberry-asked permission to explore the enchanted woods. Before long, they met Goody Bear and found themselves following this friendly, talking, stout bear deep into the forest, not having a clue where they were going, where they were, or who they were following. What an adventure!

A fantasy, this picture book for children shares a story about confronting bullying and resolving conflict.
