Today’s story is “The Perfect Picnic” by Ciara Flood.

Squirrel and Mole are going on a picnic. Squirrel is determined that it will be the most perfect picnic ever but…he’s just a bit fussy about where to hold it.

This is a tale about a friendship between very different friends and a few lost sandwiches!

During Lockdown we are running our usual 11am Storytime Monday – Friday via Facebook live. Just go onto the Leaf Facebook page to watch. The videos are saved for the moment so you can watch later.

I hope you enjoy watching and listening. Carol x
