Audisee® eBooks with Audio combine professional narration and sentence highlighting for an engaging read aloud experience!
A rock is a rock, part of cliff, road or sea. But now can you guess what else it can be?
A rock can be a…dinosaur bone, stepping-stone, hopscotch marker, fire sparker. Find out about the many roles a rock can play in this poetic exploration of rocks around the world.
Laura Purdie Salas's lyrical, rhyming text and Violeta Dabija's glowing illustrations make simple yet profound observations about seemingly ordinary objects and encourage readers to suggest "what else it can be!" Using metaphors for a leaf (tree topper / rain stopper), a rock (hopscotch marker / fire sparker), and water (thirst quencher / kid drencher), these insightful picture books creatively highlight a variety of roles and relationships in nature.
"...this beautiful picture book makes an excellent classroom read-aloud, challenging children to puzzle out the ideas in the poetic phrases and to broaden their thinking about rocks." -Booklist
"Purchase for your rock hounds or where the earlier books in this series are popular." -School Library Journal
"The economy of language and breadth of imagination suggests a broad audience for this wide-ranging and inventive exploration." -Kirkus Reviews
