Join Troubles for a warm, funny, mystery-filled day in Troubles and the Summer Picnic, a charming adventure about sunshine, family, and one very determined dog who just cannot stop helping.
What begins as a simple picnic in the park quickly turns into a full day of little surprises when Troubles discovers that a peaceful afternoon in the grass can be full of mysteries waiting to be solved. From the moment he spots a fluttering red napkin near the flower garden, Troubles knows something interesting is going on. And once he starts investigating, there is no stopping him.
Before long, Troubles is using his nose, his heart, and his boundless curiosity to help everyone around him. He tracks down the owner of a lost picnic napkin, finds a missing plate after a lemonade spill, returns a little girl's sunhat from the reeds by the duck pond, helps rescue a kite stuck in a tree, solves the case of a missing sandwich, and even helps save the family picnic from a buzzing bee problem. Along the way, he also protects a runaway red ball from rolling into the pond and uncovers the mystery of a missing picnic basket lid. Every time the day seems ready to settle down, another small adventure appears-and Troubles is always ready.
Set against a bright summer day filled with soft grass, shady trees, warm sunshine, bubbles, ducks, and the happy sounds of families enjoying the park, this story captures the magic of an ordinary outing made unforgettable by kindness and curiosity. Troubles is more than just a dog enjoying a picnic. He is a cheerful helper, a loyal friend, and a lovable little detective who turns every problem into an adventure and every adventure into a reason to wag his tail.
