Reading! It's what's for breakfast...
The new box of Cheerios had a book in it "
Everybody needs a Rock" by Byrd Baylor with pictures by Peter Parnall.
It's a book of rules for finding just the perfect rock for you.
Rule Number 8The shape
of the rock
is up to you.
(There is a girl in Alaska
who only likes flat rocks.
Don't ask me why.
I like them lumpy.)
The thing to remember
about shapes
is this:
Any rock
looks good
with a hundred other rocks
around it on a hill.
But
if your rock
is going to be special
it should look good
by itself
in the bathtub.I think there is a lesson in there somewhere...
