Ages 3–7 · Hardback picture book · 10 × 8 in landscape · 32 pages · Book 15 of The Riverbend Friends
The Riverbend Friends are having a perfectly peaceful watermelon breakfast when the river does something VERY strange — it starts flowing BACKWARDS! Fish swim in confused circles, ducks quack at their own tails, and Cabo's prize watermelon sails off UP the river. Then, riding in on one big rolling wave, comes Pinch — a tiny crab with a surfer's grin who knows exactly what a backwards river means.
Can Rio surf the great wave on the world's calmest capybara? Will Captain Backwards (Pip in a back-to-front leaf cape) ever get anyone to follow orders? And who ends up snoozing in whose nest? A silly, splashy adventure about tides, the moon and riding life's surprises — with real backwards-river facts hiding in the story!
