Everybody Needs a Rock - Byrd Baylor

Baylor provides ten rules for finding a rock. Not just any rock, Baylor is careful to note, but 'a special rock that you find yourself and keep as long as you can--maybe forever.' . . . As fresh as Baylor's concept are Parnall's striking illustrations.--School Library Journal, starred review. Everybody needs a rock -- at least that's the way this particular rock hound feels about it in presenting her own highly individualistic rules for finding just the right rock for you.
