Without further ado, meet Intrupta, an outgoing Goop girl who is always interrupting others when she shouldn’t. She doesn’t like to raise her hand in school, and even interrupts others when they’re trying to help her!  

One day, while visiting a magic wishing well with her good friend Jardad, Intrupta ignores the warnings of a helpful chicken, leans too far into the well in search of water, and falls right in! She quickly disappears and pops up in the Chand Baori stepwell in India, where she meets a friendly rat named Asha. Asha tells her she must touch each of the 3500 steps in the stepwell if she wants to go back to Goop World. Unfortunately, there are some nasty spirits who want to stop her, and one very tricky rat named Mako. 

Intrupta begins her long descent into the stepwell, but loses the bag of salt that can help her escape the spirits. When Mako leads her right to them, she has to come up with another plan to avoid them and finish touching the steps. Will she be able to stop interrupting and come up with a way to save herself?

Intrupta’s journey in the Indian stepwell offers a lesson in the importance of listening without interrupting, even when there are many distractions around. Intrupta will have to learn to focus and listen if she wants to learn how to escape the stepwell. Will she finally open her ears and close her mouth in order to complete the 3500 steps? You’ll have to visit her in India to find out!

This stories podcast will offer kids a fun activity that will increase their attention span while teaching them about why listening is so important. As they become absorbed in Intrupta’s adventure, they will cultivate a rich, independent play world, expand their vocabulary, and avoid becoming screen zombies while listening. Kids will want to stay in Goop World forever after experiencing the mesmerizing stepwell with Intrupta!
