The Backward Day

The Backward Day

Imagine your whole day lived backward, from beginning to end. When you got up, youâ€™d put on your jacket, then your shirt and pants, and over those your underwear, because after all, backward is backward, and on a backward day backward is the way everything has to be. Youâ€™d walk downstairs backward and sit on your chair backward with your back to the table, and when your parents greeted you in the morning youâ€™d say, of course, â€œGood night.â€ But how long can a backward day go on? Just long enough for a smart kid to reverse the spell heâ€™s cast on the whole household and return everything to normal. The Backward Day, a delightfully stylish picture book by the Caldecott Prizeâ€“winning team of Marc Simont and Ruth Krauss, brings to life a humorous and engaging reversal of ordinary reality that will enchant young children, as well parents.
