A Stone Sat Still by Brendan Wenzel

Recommended for ages 3+

Video Summary

This book tells the story of a seemingly ordinary rock—but to the animals that use it, it is a resting place, a kitchen, a safe haven…even an entire world! It can be a marker, it can be a home, it can be a kitchen, it can be a throne, or anything else the animals in nature need it for!
