"Everybody Needs A Rock" by Byrd Baylor with pictures by Peter Parnall
I love this because it has 10 simple rules to picking that special rock. I've done this with my pre-k classroom in so many different ways. We all went our sperate ways and collected our rocks, if the kids want they can tell us why they chose it other wise it's kept our little secret. We compare sizes, textures, colors and we've bathed them to name a few activities. In the illustrations there are animals in the rock pictures, that's another direction for more outdoor adventures. What's great about this is there are rocks everywhere, so if you only have a parking lot, that works. What a great way to get kids outside to look closely and befriend a rock!
