검피 아저씨의 배에 삼삼오오 모여든 아이들과 동물들. 아저씨의 당부에도 불구하고 소란을 피운 아이들과 동물들 때문에 배가 흔들흔들, 결국 물속으로 풍덩 빠져버립니다. 하지만 검피 아저씨는 화내는 일 없이 차를 대접하고, 다음 번 뱃놀이를 약속합니다. 간결한 문장과 부탁하는 다양한 표현, 각 동물들을 표현하는 단어들을 반복적으로 나타내 리듬감을 주고, 검피 아저씨의 모습을 통해 어른의 역할을 생각해보게 해줍니다.

Mr. Gumpy's Outing is a Boston Globe-Horn Book Award winner and an American Library Association Notable Children's Book. In England, illustrator John Burningham, with Mr. Gumpy's Outing, became the first artist ever to win England's Kate Greenaway Medal twice.

Mr. Gumpy lives by a river. One sunny day he decides to take a ride in his small boat.

It is such a perfect idea, for such a perfect summer day, that he soon has company: first the children, then the rabbit, the cat, the dog, the pig, the sheep, the chickens, and still others until-- Mr. Gumpy's outing comes to an inevitable but not unhappy, conclusion.

Come for a ride another day, says Mr. Gumpy at the book's end. And young readers will return again and again to this sprightly story with its clever, captivating illustrations that reflect the sunlit quality of a lazy summer afternoon.
