Welcome to Litsy!

Such cool endpapers in this picture book! It‘s an ode to collecting rocks, but also about being yourself, noticing the beauty around you, and finding the right friend. There‘s also a nice note at the end about learning more about rocks, and storing/sorting a collection. I think this will be part of my mom‘s Christmas present; she loves rocks, too!

This was a sweet story. It was about collecting rocks. That may sound boring to some, but this book makes it sound fun. The things they talk about could happen with many things a child chooses to collect. I love the lesson in friendship at the end. It just moves so well and is so cohesive of a story. I think for some children this will be a perfect book that they will want to keep and share with the kids they eventually have.

I still don't understand rock collecting's appeal, but I liked that the book shows children to pay attention to something most of us ignore and take for granted. The book also teaches children how to sort the rocks in their collection as well projects they can do with the rocks.

Even if this book does not sound like your cup of tea, do me a favor and open it up to see the gorgeous endpapers.
