A Stone Sat Still: (Environmental and Nature Picture Book for Kids, Perspective Book for Preschool and Kindergarten, Award Winning Illustrator)

In this moving companion to the Caldecott Honor#8211;winning They All Saw a Cat, Brendan Wenzel tells the story of a seemingly ordinary stone. But it isn't just a stone#8212;to the animals that use it, it's a resting place, a kitchen, a safe haven...even an entire world. With stunning illustrations in cut paper, pencil, collage, and paint, and soothing rhythms that invite reading aloud, A Stone Sat Still is a gorgeous exploration of perspective, perception, sensory experience, color, size, function, and time, with an underlying environmental message that is timely and poignant. Once again Wenzel shows himself to be a master of the picture book form Told in rhyming verse, a stone is considered from a variety of environmental and emotional perspectives, as it sits where it is, surrounded by grass, dirt, and water, an unchanging certainty in the world. To some animals it's a pebble, To others it's a hill, and to others, a home The follow-up to They All Saw a Cat A Stone Sat Still tells the story of a seemingly ordinary rockbut to the animals that use it, it is a resting place, a kitchen, a safe haven...even an entire world. A large rock is viewed from all different perspectives and by all the creatures who use it for different things. A beautiful poetic book.
