Buy The Carrot Seed Board Book: 75th Anniversary By Ruth Krauss. You’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 you’d say, of course, “Good night.” But how long can a backward day go on? Just long enough for a smart kid to reverse the spell he’s cast on the whole household and return everything to normal. When you got up, you’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. Imagine your whole day lived backward, from beginning to end. Dust jacket housed in a new HQ protective mylar jacket. When a little boy plants a carrot seed, everyone tells him it won't grow.
