Written by Audrey Wood. Illustrated by Don Wood. First edition, October 2000. The Blue Sky Press, an imprint of Scholastic, Inc. New York.
"Jubal looked up. The sky was blue, and the birds were singing in the trees. A splendid feeling of wonder moved up from his toes to the tip of his nose. Grasping his basket, Jubal skipped on, whistling a happy tune."
Front Flap:
"With a smile as bright as sunshine, a bullfrog named Jubal sets out to share the joy of a beautiful day with his friends. But Gerdy Toad is much too busy and much too grumpy to share Jubal's picnic lunch. And Captain Dalbert Lizard is tired and depressed. How Jubal wishes he could do something to make his friends as happy as he is on this glorious day..."
"Readers will delight in the simple pleasures of Jubal's sunny day and will celebrate the unexpected results of a generous wish made with a loving heart."
Audrey and Don Wood, the creators of so many beloved books, live in Santa Barbara, California and continue to collaborate on children's books.
