From the creator of One Snowy Night and The Greatest Snowman comes this entertaining board book for the youngest of Percy fans!

Percy the park keeper and his animal friends are just about to enjoy a picnic when, suddenly, there is a thunderstorm. Sheltering in Percy’s hut, the friends wonder how they’ll pass the time indoors. But as they all start to enjoy playing games, they soon discover that they can always have fun together – whatever the weather!

A fun, rhyming story about friendship.

Percy and his animal friends have delighted readers around the world for over thirty years!
