Charlotte and the Rock

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Samantha Cotterill. "Charlotte Grey wanted a pet. She didn't care what kind of pet." However, she doesn't expect a pet rock on her sixth birthday. The pen-and-ink art subtly gives the large, round rock (whom Charlotte names Dennis) more and more life until out hatches a dinosaur to give Charlotte a much-needed hug. The sharp, declarative text and warm, funny illustrations make Charlotte and Dennis an irresistible pair.
