Sylvester and the Magic Pebble Audiobook

" 1970 Caldecott Winner. When I first read this book I remember thinking that I will never collect pebbles. "

" Alis rates 4 stars Eliza only 3. "

" Pre-K, narrative skills, vocabulary, families. "

" Fables... a great way of scaring children into doing the right thing. Unless, of course, they are highly skeptical. The illustrations in this book make this one of my favorite kids' books. "

" One of the simplest and most beautiful books for children. A classic. "

" Sylvester and the Magic Pebble is a wonderful story that incorporates animal personification and magic with real emotions and family values. This book managed to reel me in as the reader and feel sympathy for Sylvester as a helpless rock and for his parents who thought that their child was lost forever. The illustrations are simplistic with little detail, but are colorful and really bring the words to life. "

" Clever! The kids love this one and it makes for a good read-aloud. "

" An excellent story of family love. It is amazing that one personified image could pull a book with such a nice message from the shelves. "

" This book is good for children to experience a variety of emotions. Not all books have to have happy images and plots. However, it does have a happy ending! "

" Wow, this book was trippy. I dig it. "

" Creative storyline that makes children think. Good for teaching story elements. "

" Sylvester finds a magic pebble which turns his whole life around. "

" One of my son's most favorite books I think --- He kept asking me to read it again and again. "

" Always a good message... "

" A classic. Themes of family, friendship, patience, and keeping hopeful through difficulty. "

" This is another Steig classic. After the main character, Sylvester (a young donkey), finds a magic pebble, trouble ensues. In the end Sylvester realizes there is no place like home. Great story! "

" I have been fond of this book for years and years. Be careful what you wish for! "

" I liked this story as a kid. Though looking back, it is pretty strange. A donkey turning into a rock? Really? "

" A cute story about wishes and how they can change our lives. Sylvester learns quite the lesson after he discovers a magic pebble. A fun and creative story that will prove to be enjoyable to the little ones. "

" Love this book! It teaches our children that grand wishes seem good, but nothing is as precious as our love of family and togetherness. "

" What would you do with a magic pebble? "

" I read this around 1st grade, and owned my own copy. I thought Sylvester's wish to be careless and foolish even at that young age. "

" I liked the vocabulary in this book. I could talkt to the students about what they may wish for if they had a magic rock, seasons Sylvester had seen and why Sylvester's parents had put the rock away. "

" This is a great book to read that is a time flies text. In this book it shows magic by the use of pebble. Also, this book teaches a lesson about making wishes. Sylvester makes a wish and turns into something he would have not wanted to be for the rest of his life. "
