Tess, the Tin that Wanted to Rock

Tess, the Tin that Wanted to Rock

DESCRIPTION

 

Join a lovable group of rock friends (and one wise little ladybug), on a funny, heartwarming adventure about the importance in believing in yourself.

 

When Tess, a tin foil ball, rolls onto the hill and meets Marvin, Ricky and the rest of the rocks, she immediately worries that she’s too different from everyone else:

 

"Do you want to play?" asked Parker and Kai.
"No thanks," whispered Tess. "I'm just rolling on by.
I'm sure that you've noticed I don't really fit in -
I'm not even a rock, I'm just made of tin.
I'm not smooth and solid, and I'm not strong like you...
I'm a tin foil ball - there's not much I can do.”

 

But when the rocks go looking for a lost pebbles and get lost in the woods, it's up to Tess to save the day, as she realizes that everyone has value, and even a tin ball can be a rock star!

 

From the author of the best selling Ricky, the Rock that Couldn't Roll, The Masterpiece and The Bear and the Fern, comes this sweet and endearing story about friendship, teamwork and self-worth.

 

Combining the spirit of The Giving Tree with the rhyme and rhythm of Dr. Seuss, Tess, the Tin is ideal for both boys and girls, ages 3-8, and grades K-3. This latest 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!

Love it!

Without being preachy this book shares an important message about teamwork and individual worth. I first downloaded it when it was free on Kindle, and I loved it so much that I had to get the hardcover version too. It held the attention of all 5 of my kids--the story line, lyrical rhythm, and captivating pictures were perfect.

My kids love Tess!

I have to say thank you to little Tess - she got my two-year-old out of her “I don’t want to go to bed” meltdown. She became instantly engaged with the story and especially enjoyed finding the ladybug on each page. I don’t know who loves it more, my kids or me! Definitely a great message, written beautifully, with engaging illustrations; now we're on to buy Ricky the Rock who Couldn't Roll! A must have for all age levels of kiddos.

Perfect Sequel to the Ricky "Rock" Books

Tess is a really sweet book - perfect follow up to the other "Ricky" Rock books. Recommended if your children enjoyed the previous books in the series as a complement. Ideal for young readers in K-2nd, and the perfect book to bring along to school for Mystery Reader day, or as a birthday gift. My kids love all the books.

Love this book and the others too

I love this series and all the books by mr jay. The kids love to read them over and over. I like that they have lessons to learn in each book. The kids also recognize the references made in each book of the other books. Definitely one of the best series i found so far.
