About
This modern-day classic follows 14 lovable rocks (and one wise little ladybug) on a heartwarming and hilarious journey, universally loved by children, parents and teachers alike.
From zippy little pebbles to big strong boulders, the rock friends get together to play and roll around their favorite hill, only to find that one of their friends, Ricky, can't roll with them. Unlike all of the other rocks, who are all round, Ricky can't roll because he's flat on one side.
Determined not to leave their friend behind, the rocks set out to help Ricky roll - one way or another.
When the last knot was tied, and the work was all done,
the only step left was for Rick to have fun.
They stood back and watched, feeling nervous and tense,
as Rick breathed in deep, with increasing suspense.
He moved slowly at first, testing out his new mold,
and then, for the first time...Ricky the rock rolled!
This sweet, imaginative picture book, written in verse, brings a fresh set of characters to life in a story that highlights perseverance and triumph in the face of adversity, and the power of true friendship, combining the spirit of The Giving Tree with the rhyme and rhythm of Dr. Seuss.
