Great book on the power of persistence, friendship and peer support.
Great book on the power of persistence, friendship and peer support. Ricky the rock is “different” from his friends – he has a flat bottom instead of being “round.” Consequently, he cannot roll down the hill like his friends when they play. He is stuck on his flat side. Despite, having this physical “challenge,” Ricky keeps trying but cannot roll on this own. His friends start trying to find ways that help Ricky roll down the hill. When their initial attempts don’t work, they keep trying until they come up with a unique and ingenious way helping him be able to roll down the hill. This is a great book for a child who is facing the challenges of any kind of impediment to success by giving them hope and fostering trust that there are others who will be kind and help them. Sometimes we cannot overcome the odds on our own but with the help of others, we can succeed.This is a powerful message for such children and adults but also for any child who is facing normal developmental challenges such as learning to read, going through potty training , riding a bike, etc. I bought this for my granddaughter who is can master tasks quite well but is a bit of a perfectionist and can get down on herself. It helps her keep a proper perspective. I really loved this book because of the happy ending and the way it teaches how we are all interconnected.

Fun and Engaging Book!
My 2 year old loves this book! He loves the different rocks and the following the story to see if Ricky ends up being able to roll! Cute illustrations and fun to read.

My grandkids liked this book a lot.
I like the story – it has a “moral” but, it’s not treacle. There is a problem and the gang pitches in to help their friend. I like the way the story moves and the illustrations are fresh and interesting – authentic rock, you know? The ending is very satisfying. I think my 3,4 and 6 year old grand kids wanted to know what happened and once they did, they wanted to read it again. I have read it to them several times and they have not become bored or lost interest. The reason I gave it a 4 star and not a 5 star is that I do not like booger jokes and I did not appreciate the silly cartoon that had NOTHING to contribute to the story. I will white it out as soon as my young reader gets close to reading it. Not necessary and a cheap ha ha that distracts from the story line. The last line of the book was profound, and is a really good lesson. Bravo.

Cute story
Very cute story with lots of good concepts for kids: being different, acceptance, kindness and caring, the importance of helping and not giving up, creative problem solving. Great for bringing up discussion on these concepts with young children. Illustrations are simple and clean.

Ricky’s friends are always willing to help and include Ricky in their “rock” adventures. Poor Ricky, things just don’t work out for him. But the perseverance and ingenuity of his friends makes this story a real winner!
