Help me out, fellow Bibliophiles! I read a delightful rhyming book to my kids about a British man who takes a vacation to the beach he keeps losing things along the way. One of the lines is, "Oh, well, what's done is done. I think I'll picnic in the sun." Part of the charm of this book is finding the places where these items were forgotten. For example, the umbrella was left on the bus and we see it in the window as the bus pulls away.
CAN ANYONE TELL ME THE NAME OF THAT WONDERFUL BOOK?

That’s nice to hear. Thanks for sharing.
I can lay my hands on “Peter Rabbit, Tank Killer” pretty fast.
