Nathan realizes he has misplaced his favorite water bottle sometime after school and cannot stop wondering where it could be. That night, Peanut Butter Jim arrives, puts on his detective hat, and helps Nathan retrace his steps back to school... at night!
When they arrive, the usually busy school is quiet and dark, but Nathan and PB Jim are determined to solve the mystery and find the missing bottle.
In this stories for kids podcast episode, Nathan and PB Jim search the quiet classroom, moonlit playground, cafeteria, and even the music room, picking up clues from some unexpected friends along the way. With each new clue, Nathan tries to remember exactly where he went and what he did throughout the day.
As Nathan retraces his steps, he discovers that sometimes the best way to find something is to slow down and remember where you have already been. Even when a mystery takes you in circles, a little patience and detective thinking can help put the pieces together.
