Review

Ayako's family are going on a picnic!
Parents both look very busy.

"I can help Mommy to pack the lunch!"
"I can help Daddy to zip the bag!"
"I can be prettier"

But everything goesbadly.

Now she got dressed up and put her shoes on and she can't wait anymore, then・・・・・

She failed in helping parents, but she is happy and parents are happy, too.
The illustrations show exactly how children look when they are interested, excited,
thinking something, and when they have done something wrong.
So cute!
