Students really enjoy Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, which earned Wiliam Steig a Caldecott Medal. Sylvester finds a smooth red, shiny pebble that will grant him any wish, but before he really gets to use it he comes face to face with a lion. Sylvester panics, and wishes that he is a rock. His parents are so worried about him and search all over for their dear Sylvester. Will Sylvester ever turn back into a donkey?
I had first graders draw what they would wish for if they had a magic pebble. Some students wanted unique pets like unicorns dragons, penguins or tigers, or to have super powers like being invisible or the ability to fly. I particularly loved the ones where students wanted a huge shelf of books!
The one pictures above was the sweetest. He wished for there to be love and houses for everyone in the world, and for lots of books. And to have blue hair. So sweet!
