Sylvester and the Magic Pebble
By William Steig
This is a "Be careful what you wish for, you might just get it" kind of
story. Silvester the Donkey loves to collect pebbles, and one day he finds
a beautiful red and shiny round one. When he wishes that the rain would
stop it miraculously does, and he realizes that the pebble is magical.
But... when he is frightened by a lion stalking him, he wishes he was a rock
so that the lion wouldn't hurt him.
This of course works, but, he can't turn himself back, because well, he
can't hold or touch the pebble.
So he waits, and of course you will have to read the story to find out how
he gets out of it. It was the winner of the 1970 Caldecott Medal and
another where the pictures were great and so was the story.

The vision must be followed by the venture. It is not enough to
stare up the steps - we must step up the stairs.
