Everybody Needs A Rock by Byrd Baylor


Yesterday we read Everybody Needs A Rock by Byrd Baylor. In the book the author describes rules to finding a special rock of your own. Two very important points stood out to me 1. The importance of size...not too big that it could not fit in your pocket but not too small that it would easily be lost. 2. The importance of finding your special rock alone... no family or friends allowed. I kept thinking about these two requirements and I wondered why are these so important and what made those two out of the ten stick in my head? What do you think?

I think those things are important because...if you pick a good rock it will be perfect. If you pick a bad rock what would you do with it? love savannah hawes

I rules are important because if you let your family or friends help you find a great rock and they find one that you did not like and you put it back then you find the one you like the best BY Kyla

I think the reason these stand out in your mind because if you have a rock too big how could you stick a rock that is too big in your pocket.If you have rock to small how would you keep track of it.If you have friends,or family with you how would it be your specil rock.

I like How The Book tells You How To Find Your own Rock. And you can find any rocks that is not bigger than your hand. Rocks Are cool do but They are not fun to play with. And you cannot play with a Rock And you cannot throw a rock ether. There are all kinds of rocks in the world.

I liked the book very much I loved thoose rules because I am not so sure about why you need to know that and I love a good mystery because mysterys just stand out in front of me and I like to watch mystery chanels at home in my bedroom but there is one thing i don't understand.why can't it be to big or to small?Because I am a rock collecter and I collect to big and to small rocks.

I think that my rock is the right size. because it fits in the mittle of my hand. and if it is too big and it will not fit in your pocket.and if it is too small it will be lost and it will not be find at all.
