Tonight the river runs uphill, and every plan that ever worked on it works exactly wrong! The weir gate is jammed, a thousand Moonlings are waiting, and midnight is climbing the sky. Pole up the bank the old way? Ride the backwards rapids one rock at a time? Stop and watch a leaf? Your child decides.
The two skills in this book
- Learn from every outcome. "A run that fails is still a run": every winning path is a chain of small tries, each one read for what it teaches.
- Break big problems down. Roaring rapids become seven steps, and a jammed gate becomes a hundred twigs, then one log.
Book 13 of 30 in The Night Train to Anywhere: a 54-page, 8×8" picture book for ages 3–8, printed to order and read together.
