Have you ever set out a picnic
in a truly splendid spot,
turned your back for just one second . . .
. . . to find a Sneep has pinched the lot?

Oscar is looking forward to the perfect day out. He'll have a picnic, read his book and build a den. But things don't go entirely according to plan . . . Mischievous creatures keep sneaking up on him and spoiling his fun! A Sneep pinches his lunch, a Grullock almost swallows him whole and a Loon chases him all the way home! After a series of nasty surprises and narrow escapes, poor Oscar is exhausted. What he needs is a place that's creature-free . . .
