Summary

This humourous picture book is great for inspiring children to use natural items in their play and learning. In the story, the poor old stone is used as a cake, a pet, a gem, a bone, a weight, an egg and a seed. What would your readers use the stone for? What other natural items can children use in your outdoor setting? The story is told in rhyming couplets, making this a great choice for exploring rhyming words and rhythm.This story includes some exciting vocabulary to discuss in shared or guided reading. There are also lots of opportunities for inference as children think about what the stone and the humans are thinking and feeling throughout.
