Joyce K. Ellis, author of The Fabulous World That God Made, Our Heart Psalms, Write with Excellence 201, The 500 Hats of a Modern-Day Woman, and more: Over and over, Ricky the Rock watches his rock friends race to the top of their hill overlooking a lake and then roll all the way down, as rocks apparently love to do when we’re not watching. They invite Ricky to join them, but all Ricky can do is sit and watch. You see, Ricky is flat on one side, not round like the others. His friends, unwilling to let him sit on the sidelines and not enjoy their fun, try various ways to help Ricky join in all their rolling-rock games. All to no avail. And Ricky only becomes more discouraged. But they keep trying. Finally, by working together, they nervously, with love and hope, come up with one ingenious plan.
Author Jay Miletsky skillfully tells this humorous tale with the rhythm and rhyme kids love, and the story oozes caring, friendship, and perseverance. Erin Wozniak’s simple line-drawing backgrounds set off colorful character illustrations of Ricky and his friends as they try all their problem-solving ideas. And dialogue bubbles contain rock characters’ jokes and other quips, such as Ricky asking if one of the failed attempts is supposed to be fun. Highly recommend this book for classroom and home enjoyment.
