On a beautiful day, Mr. Gumpy decides to take his boat downriver. A pleasant and easy-going man, he starts picking up passengers along the way: children, a rabbit, a cat, a dog, and many others. With each passenger, he makes a deal that they won’t disrupt the happy journey. Unfortunately, the animals break that promise and the packed boat tips over! A wonderful, good-natured story with colorful, scratchy linework by Burningham.
