Could work well for storytime. ( )

I am really enjoying the trend in picture books I am finding lately, with subtle but uplifting messages. This book is comparable to Micahel Hall's Perfect square, which is really about flexibility and going with the flow. Hall uses a square of paper and Coppo chooses a rock, who thinks it's a mountain, only to be disturbed by that notion and moved on through several roles.

I think young children will laugh aloud at the rock's "predicaments" and older children will be better equipped to discuss the message. ( )
