TITLE: Sylvester and the Magic Pebble
AUTHOR: William Steig
YEAR: 1987
This is one of my favorite William Steig books, though in typical Steig fashion, it is heavy on the serious and dramatic themes. Sylvester is a donkey who finds a magic pebble and accidentally turns himself into a rock, leaving his poor parents to come to terms with his disappearance. It is something of a tear-jerker, but don't worry, it has a happy ending!
