Two toddlers go on a bumpety berry hunt in this darling picture book that's perfect for preschoolers.
Wagon on gravel goes bumpety-bump.
Pebbles in the pond fall plunkey-plunk.
Toes in the grass dance thumpety-thump.
Bumpety-plunkety-thumpety-thump!
Join two sweet siblings as they explore their backyard, get deliciously creative in the kitchen, and then spend a cozy evening preparing for bed. Along the way they'll get muddy and messy and hungry and sleepy--just as all little ones do.
