Mr Gumpy’s Outing

One hot summer day Mr Gumpy decides to go for a journey is his boat. It soon turns out that everyone else wants to join him, including most of the local wildlife. As each of the passengers tries to get along, it's only a matter of time before their true natures emerge!

This gentle story is told with humour and warmth. Burningham's distinctive illustration expertly conjours up a hot summer day on the river. This 40th anniversary edition is accompanied by a CD read by Sylvester McCoy which is a fantastic addition for younger readers.
