One Fine Day

Author: Justin Worsley

One fine morning in the forest, Moose decides the weather is ideal for doing some landscape painting on the opposite shore of the lake from his home.

Over on the opposite side of the lake, Bear listens to the radio as he has his breakfast of beans and decides it’s a good day for fishing. He makes himself some baked bean sandwiches for lunch and dresses in his fishing hat and wellies and sallies forth. Moose meanwhile has packed his bag and is pedalling off in search of the perfect view to paint.

Some time later, down at the lake, the two creatures suddenly find themselves in an angry confrontation caused by an accidental entanglement. Something needs to be done to clear the air, but what?

The humour is largely in the vibrant, detailed illustrations and the way they show things not said in the text, and of course, the bear’s emanation of the rear end kind. The latter being something that listeners will delight in along with the two protagonists.
