Sylvester and the Magic Pebble


Sylvester loved collecting pebbles of unusual shape and color. One day he found a special pebble, a flaming, red, shiny, and perfectly round, like a marble. He discovered it was a magical pebble as he held it and the rain stopped when he wished it. He was excited about the possibilities of getting everything he and his family wanted. But when a lion approached, he change himself into a rock. However, he was unable to change back because the pebble was next to him. In order for the magic to work, he needed to be touching the pebble. His parents and friends looked and looked for him. This caused his parents a lot of sorrow. One day, while eating lunch at the rock (Sylvester), his parents saw the pebble and placed it upon the rock because it reminded them of their son. When he realized he was touching the rock, Sylvester changed himself back and three were reunited. He knew that this is what he and his family wanted more than anything. Wasn't a big fan pf this book, don't know why just didn't really standout.

  1. I know what you mean about some books just "not standing out." I would encourage you to explore that idea (what made it "meh")Illustrations? Author? Word choice? Plot?
