(3) K-3 A rock is sure she's a mountain ("Nothing can move me... Everyone comes to me") until she finds herself tossed into a bird's nest, thrown into a pond, and finally tucked into a girl's pocket. This amenable tale of adaptiveness ("Whatever I become, I'm bound to be amazing!") gets its message across with art that gives its inanimate protagonist the unexpected: personality.
Reviewer: Nell Beram
