In the end, the stone sits and endures, while everything around it changes. Centering around the eponymous stone, the narrative here explores the stone's existence - the many uses it serves to various creatures in the wild, and the various positions it holds, depending upon the size and outlook of the being examining it.
Still, a monster or robot wouldn’t hurt anything, or even a witch dancing to Michael Jackson.ĭescribed on the dust-jacket flap as a companion to author/illustrator Brendan Wenzel's Caldecott Honor-winning They All Saw A Cat, this new picture-book also explores perspective. He did say it was sort of boring as not much happens, but he liked it anyway. He liked the animals and the snail making trails on the rock. The nephew thought this beginning book was good. I love his stuff and I will be reading more in the future when he publishes. The art is beautiful and it is a great book to expand your world and understanding of how to be in it. Perception is everything and everyone sees things differently is a good lesson from this. The rock doesn’t change, but under different light, say moon light, clouds, bright sun, under water, it looks completely different, different colors, when it hasn’t changed. How eye opening is that? I simply love it. He loves to take an object like a rock and show it from the perspective of an ant, a moose, a bird and under water. What I enjoy about Brendan is he plays with perspective. He is another Weisner or William Joyce or Jan Brett.
He won the Caldecott with a cat book a few years ago and I recently read his last book that I loved too. Brendan is quickly becoming a new favorite author for me.
