Paola Opal

Saffy, the baby giraffe, loves her rock. It helps her reach the leaves so she can eat them. And it is fun to roll back and forth. When Ollie, the baby elephant, asks if he can play with her rock, at first she says no, until she discovers that sharing and playing with Ollie is better than playing alone.

A great book to show toddlers how sharing is part of making and having friends.

Praise for the Simply Small Series:

"...just perfect for the youngest readers" (ABC Best Books for Children)

"Opal uses vibrant onomatopoeic language, such as "swoosh," "thump," and "splash," which makes reading aloud to children fun" (CM review)
