At dusk, a farmer boy and his pet wolf take a trip, to visit a Mrs. Cattles. On his way there, he has to pick a cabbage at a farm, buy a goat, borrow paddles from a Mr. Barkett, and cross a moat with a boat to finally visit Mrs. Cattles. During the trip, he learns the hard way that when left alone, the goat will eat the cabbage, and the wolf will eat the goat. On top of this, the boat that he has to row to cross the moat can carry only himself and a single load. How will the farmer cross the moat, leaving the goat and the cabbage intact? With silhouette illustrations and splashes of natural colors, Kristina Livesay explores a solution to a well-known river crossing puzzle, which has entered the folklore of many countries by the same name as the title of the book. The fun narrative and the visual clues make each step of the solution of the puzzle anticipated. Here is another clue: the boy is faced with a new problem at the end!
