Ready for Anything!

Publishers Summary:
A warm, funny tale for little worriers At first, Raccoon thought a picnic with his friend Duck sounded like fun, but heÂ’s having second thoughts. After all, picnics can be very dangerous.

Luckily, Duck knows that even though you canÂ’t plan for the unexpected, thereÂ’s no reason to be afraid of it, because some surprises in life can be wonderful.
