Goodreads Synopsis:
What can you do with a rock? This ode to the endless, creative fun that a child can have with a deceptively simple rock explores that simple, timeless question. Of course, the very best thing one can do with a rock is to share it, because people are like rocks: some look shiny right away, while others have secret treasure deep inside.
Review:
As if I am not strange enough as is, fun fact: I love rocks. I collect interesting ones from hikes, outings, random places and have a little rock pile (that I have also now picked up and moved with me a few times). They are normally small ones but they are all interesting to me. SO this book... was FOR ME... and any other kids that love rocks. This book is wonderful! It showcases all the wonderful things about rocks - ones you can take and ones you can admire from a-far. How you can sort them, use them, study them, and just generally love them.
Although a book about rocks, readers will also enjoy a lesson on sharing and listening to each other... while talking about rocks and being together. AND learn so much from the non-fiction information provided about rocks at the end of the book as well. The book has lovely images to go along with all the rock fun, detailed, full of rock examples, locations, and how to embellish them. The colors are bright and each page has your attention as you try to see all the rocks on it and all the kids learning more about them.
I loved this book so much! It was so much fun to read and I can't wait to share it with littles in my life so that they learn to love rocks too. it's all about appreciating the little things... little rocks included. (I guess big rocks too.)
I am also a fan of the author of this book. Pat Zietlow Miller writes some wonderful children's books.
