My Works If You Find a Rock
Harcourt, 2000 When you find a rock,you don't always know what kind of rock it is. Have you found a hiding rock? Or a rock to skip in the water? It might be a wishing rock, or a climbing rocks, or a rock to kick in front of you, all the way home. Or you might have found a rock that doesn't have a name yet. And that might be the best rock of all.
