A Pebble Story

“Let’s go pebbling!” announces a boy who needs green pebbles to finish his art project—which appears to be a picture of his mother, who joins him on his hunting expedition. Revell’s warm oil paintings show the two searching roads and riverbeds for pebbles, skipping stones, and enjoying a picnic as the day passes. “Pebble days. Pebble nights. Pebble dreams,” writes Sher as the boy dreams of driving a truck made of pebbles (he has something of a one-track mind). A crafty solution helps the boy create the green pebbles he needs. Light fun that just might lead to some arts and crafts ideas. Simultaneously available: A Button Story. Ages 2–4. (Sept.)
