The Remembering Stone

Russell, Barbara. The Remembering Stone. Illustrated by Claire B. Cotts. Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2004. ISBN 03743624221. $16.00. Ages 4-8.

If you like books about dreams then you’ll like The Remembering Stone by Barbara Russell. It’s about a girl who tries to find out what her dream is, and when she does she wants to make it happen. The author makes you want to keep reading to find out what her dream is. I think the author could have made it better if she said what some of the words in Spanish meant. The illustrations by Claire B. Cotts were vivid and went right with the story. Throughout the whole book it sends you a message, not to let go of your dreams.
