This picture book rocks!" - Kirkus , starred review "This is a wonderful story about mistaken assumptions, and taking the time to listen to a variety of perspectives and experiences. Part scientific history, part storytelling, Old Rock is content with his lot in life, and Old Rock is not boring! This is a brilliant book for school and public libraries and one that children will be drawn to." - School Library Journal, starred review "Pilutti puts a smile and wide eyes on the rock and places it among an increasingly fascinated animal audience in a set of simply drawn, usually idyllic cartoon scenes. 'They are not bored,' she concludes, nor will younger readers and listeners be once they realize that every rock they see has a similar story to tell." - Booklist "After Hummingbird, Spotted Beetle, and Tall Pine regale Old Rock with tales of their adventures, Old Rock relays a rich history in which he was shot from a volcano, hid dinosaurs from predators, survived an ice age, traveled frozen in a glacier, and rolled onto plains populated with mastodons. This readaloud will put any of Grandpa's long-winded stories into perspective, as Old Rock really does have some valuable tales to offer." -- The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books, "A witty, engaging exploration of deep time . . .
