Why can’t Ricky roll? Find out in this rollicking, whimsical adventure loved by kids, parents and teachers everywhere!

When the rocks get together to play and roll around their favorite hill, they find that one of their friends, Ricky, can't roll with them. Unlike all of the others, who are all round, Ricky can't roll because he's flat on one side.

His friends didn't get it,
"Come Roll!" they would chant.
So Ricky tried, but replied,
"I'm sorry, I can’t.”

Determined not to leave their friend behind, the rock friend set out to help Ricky roll around - one way or another.

From the best-selling author of Tess, the Tin that Wanted to Rock, The Bear and the Fern and The Masterpiece comes this fun, funny and heartwarming that is loved by kids, parents and teachers alike.

Combining the spirit of Shel Silverstein, the heart of Mo Willems and the rhyme and rhythm of Dr. Seuss, Ricky, the Rock is ideal for children ages 3-9 and Pre K-3rd grade. This original story featuring the "You Rock Group" is a book that kids are sure to cherish as they grow, and ask to read over and over again!
