Carla's Puzzling Ride

Meet Carla, a clever young girl in a bustling Spanish city who turns her morning scooter ride to school into a brain-twisting adventure! When Carla hops on her little red scooter, she doesn't just zoom through sun-drenched streets — she runs headlong into some of history's most famous logic puzzles and paradoxes, all reimagined as colourful, kid-friendly encounters along the way.

From a fruit market sign that declares itself a lie, to a dog in the park who only chases dogs that won't play chase, to a box of churros that might be whole and crumbly at the same time, Carla's ride is packed with playful brain teasers. But the biggest puzzle of all lands right on the beach: an unstoppable truck barrelling toward an immovable boulder! When the deafening crash never comes, Carla remembers her logic lessons and realises that two impossible things simply can't exist in the same world — and both vanish into thin air.

Perfect for toddlers and early readers (ages 2–6), Carla's Puzzling Ride is a beautifully illustrated picture book that sneaks famous thought experiments into a fun, rhyming adventure through the streets of Spain.

Kids and parents will love:

Playful Philosophy for Little Minds: Classic paradoxes — the Ship of Theseus, Zeno's dichotomy, the liar paradox, Schrödinger's cat, the barber paradox, and the irresistible force — reimagined as whimsical encounters a child can grasp and giggle at.

Bouncy, Rhythmic Rhymes: Lively couplets on every page that are a joy to read aloud and help build early language and listening skills.

Vibrant Spanish Scenery: Warm, sun-soaked illustrations of tile-covered plazas, bustling markets, sandy beaches, and a charming church bell tower bring a Spanish city to life.

A Satisfying Twist: Carla arrives at school only for her teacher to announce she's "early AND late!" — one last paradox that ties the whole adventure together with a laugh.
