Percy the park keeper and his animal friends are just about to enjoy a picnic when, suddenly, there is a thunderstorm. Sheltering in Percy's hut, the friends wonder how they'll pass the time indoors. But as they all start to enjoy playing games, they soon discover that they can always have fun together - whatever the weather!
A fun, rhyming story about friendship.
