Get ready to meet a new rock group From zippy, little pebbles to big strong boulders, the rocks (and their ladybug friend) get together to play and roll around their favorite hill, only to find that one of their friends, Ricky, can't roll with them.

If you can't be like the cool kids, give in to peer pressure and let them make you cool.

This book was absolutely horrible, Gillian said. I am open minded and really was trying to think of another way to spin this, but the book was clear. He has a flat left side. In "Shattered Glass," Harrison writes, "most of the book is about him being sad he can't play with the other rocks." Note the ladybug that hangs with him. It's just that they don't have enough money." The rocks mold him into being like them so he can do what they do and the end. It almost shut it down and I didn't finish reading it when I saw where it was going. Thankfully, the child I was reading it to was a bit sleepy and I don't think she caught the whole thing, Mrs Hughes said. Awful. It's just that I threw it away, Jeter said. These are serious issues, Medicare officials say. If your shape isn't like others, you don't feel bad. Only change your status quo will bring you happiness, Bruno says. This is just messed up, man.

Helps demonstrate diversity, acceptance, respect, friendship, and hope
Derived From Web , Mar 28, 2019
I was surprised by how well the book was written, said Janet Evanovich, assistant professor of English at Carnegie Hall. I used it in school to help with inclusion, thinking of others, and acceptance of others' differences, Myers said. It's great to hear from customers who have used it. The voice mail is great, said Dr. Thomas. Kennedy, director of the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

adorable in every way
Derived From Web , Jun 15, 2018
This is a nice, large book about a not-so-round rock, and how his friends cheered him on and rallied to help him out, Graham said. The book reads nicely -- great rhyming -- and the illustrations are really adorable, too. I do wish the author had referred to him as Ricky, consistently. My 2 1/2 year old LOVES it!
