Reading is essential for the next generation.
Great book to read to my grandson who recently adopted a pet rock that doesn't roll! So it worked out perfectly! Some day he'll read it to me. He loves the pictures and understands it a little bit. He's only 2.5 yrs. old.

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.

A Heartwarming Gem No Matter the Age!
“Ricky The Rock That Couldn’t Roll” is an absolute gem of a book that captivated both my 7 year old and 4 year old from the very first page. I’m not going to lie, even I, their mom, found myself thoroughly enjoyed this delightful story.The artwork is wonderfuk, with each rock character beautifully illustrated and bursting with personality. My children loved getting to know all the different rocks and their unique traits. The story itself is a heartwarming and humbling tale about friendship, acceptance, and the unconditional love that binds friends together.The message is profound yet perfectly accessible for young readers, teaching them the importance of supporting and loving one another. This book has become a bedtime favorite in our household, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. “Ricky The Rock That Couldn’t Roll” is a must-have addition to any child’s bookshelf!

Worth the Try!
As an adult, I liked the book, but my toddler - 2.5 wasn't that interested. Maybe, it was the lack of color...not sure.
