Book Description:

A small stone had an idea. Instead of getting what he wanted, he fell into the deep sea. The stone experienced many setbacks and finally it became a towering giant island.

Based on years of early childhood education philosophy, Barbara Bennis used the perspective of small children to describe the wonderful World. Unexpected circumstances stimulate children unlimited imagination. The English and the simple repetition of sentences in the book also provide children with authentic language learning opportunities. This book has a wonderful story, beautifully hand drawn illustrations, vivid and interesting language with English and pinyin and Simplified Chinese.
