The Trout Train Timetable

Barnaby Quill

A trout named Tilly lays down twigs and pebbles so fish can ride leaf-boats through the reeds, but a grumpy catfish named Mortimer keeps moving the timetable. Barnaby Quill's gentle chapter book suits listeners around five to eight who like building things and solving small crises. Sadie Bracken reads with a calm, steady voice that lets the humor land quietly; her Mortimer grumbles without ever sounding scary, and her leaf-locomotive whoosh is worth waiting for. Good for bedtime or quiet afternoons.
