 | The Smiling Stone by Marcia Trimble, Susan Arciero
Following a stone beaming a broad smile on its journey from a beach to several island niches leads young readers to the specialness of their own smiles. The stone draws the reader to it right away as it smiles up at the sun, smiles from the sand, smiles from a sandcastle. It smiles at a boy, a seagull, a dog, a cat, a little girl...at all of the characters at once united on the beach beaming back. Then comes the moment that readers will want to return to, the moment in which the reader's smile casts forever a beam of light , a beam of self-esteem that radiates within & without! Marcia Trimble's simple verse & gentle word repetition are a clincher for children learning to read as well as for parents looking for a story with a read-aloud rhythm. Susan Arciero's softly-colored illustrations complement the message of the story, creating a soothing bedtime story, too. And the illustrations hold a special treat for youngsters. On nearly every page there's a tiny mouse for the reader to look for. With its charming verse, positive message & distinctive illustrations, THE SMILING STONE is a book children will treasure.
