Ricky, the Rock That Couldn't Roll

From zippy little pebbles to big strong boulders, the rock friends get together to play and roll around their favorite hill, only to find that one of their friends, Ricky, can't roll with them.

Unlike all of the other rocks, who are all round, Ricky can't roll because he's flat on one side.

Determined not to leave their friend behind, the rocks set out to help Ricky roll - one way or another: When the last knotwas tied, and the work was all done, the only step left was for Rick to have fun.They stood back and watched, feeling nervous and tense,as Rick breathed in deep, with increasing suspense.

He moved slowly at first, testing out his new mold, and then, for the first time...Ricky the rock rolled!
