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. An ALA Notable Children's Book A New York Times Book Review Best Illustrated Children's Book A Child Study Association Children's Book of the Year A Library of Congress Children's Book of the Year Review: Read it Again and Again - A book that my 5 year old loves again and again! Review: Such a great book with beautiful illustrations. My kids love it! - We borrowed this book from the library and my daughter adored it. Every time we had to return it she immediately noticed its absence and would ask for it again, so we finally just bought it. We were hoping to find the board book version, as my daughter can be a little rough on books. But this was the best price available, and we see it as a good opportunity to teach her how to care for and respect her books, since she loves this story so. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #134,674 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #110 in Children's Boats & Ships Books (Books) #347 in Children's Manners Books #8,023 in Children's Literature (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 457 Reviews | ## Images ![Mr. Gumpy's Outing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71xLRzWUkbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Read it Again and Again *by L***C on February 25, 2026* A book that my 5 year old loves again and again! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Such a great book with beautiful illustrations. My kids love it! *by K***T on March 24, 2013* We borrowed this book from the library and my daughter adored it. Every time we had to return it she immediately noticed its absence and would ask for it again, so we finally just bought it.

I wasn't sure if my memory of it was just imagined or if it really was a lovely, fun, uniquely illustrated (yet simple) tale. The answer came from the reactions of both my son and me: He loved it and has asked me to read it repeatedly for a week. I love reading it and am charmed both by all the memory bells it rings, and also by the sweet new memories my son and I are building together while bonding over love of this book. ## Frequently Bought Together - Mr. Gumpy's Outing - Dear Zoo: A Lift-the-Flap Book - The Tiger Who Came to Tea --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8655631-mr-gumpys-outing](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/8655631-mr-gumpys-outing) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
