Come aboard, and find out together. A basket appears on a river ferry with a tag that says not to open it until the last landing. Nine children each keep it safe for a few miles. Each chapter reads aloud in about ten minutes, ends calmly, and teaches one true thing about tides, silt, river life. Children step aboard, one landing after another. A goat tries to eat it. The sun tries to dry it. A porter tries to tidy it away. Each child solves one small problem, learns one true thing about the river, and passes the basket on.
Nobody on the ferry knows what is inside. By the last landing, everybody will. Why families choose this story book ?
Ten calm minutes a night, nine nights running. The last pages slow down toward sleep. Read it yourself, or gift wrap it for the little ones you love.
- Nine bedtime chapters of about ten minutes, each ending where you can stop.
- A new child, voice and place every night, so no night feels the same
- Real river facts: tides, silt, slack water, river dolphins and mangroves
- Words to learn, questions to talk about, and a pencil page after every landing (for the child to complete during the day, on holiday)
- Notes for whoever reads along - parents, guardians, teachers, grandparents and older siblings
Ten calm minutes a night, nine nights running. The last pages slow down toward sleep. Read it yourself, or gift wrap it for the little ones you love.
