Every year, Pete's family from all across the country gathers at a park for a family picnic. But, what happens when your pet lion and monkey sneak into the back of Dad's truck and show up at the picnic as well? I can tell you! But, it is better if you read for yourself. "The Day of the Great Family Picnic" is the fifth book in "The Absurd Adventures of Monkey, Puppy, and Lion" series and by far, the most absurd!
