A ship is stuck in a canal. Can the moon's power set it free?
A cargo ship is trapped in a canal, and despite the efforts of tugboats and diggers, it remains stuck. For seven nights, the moon grows fuller and brighter, watching over the scene. As tension builds, the moon's mysterious power might just be the key to unleashing a mighty tide and freeing the ship. Will the moon's strength be enough to change the course of events?
A timeless picture book from the creator of the Red Truck and Friends series about a ship stuck in a canal and the moon that set it free. The silver moon sails through the vast blue sky as a cargo ship down below is stuck in a canal. The tugboat tugs until the line goes taut. The diggers scoop up enough sand for a castle. The dredger glugs all the silt he can. But it’s no use. For seven long days, the moon watches as the ship stays put, becoming fuller, brighter, closer, until she’s finally strong enough to pull the ocean into a mighty tide and save the ship.
