Publisher Description
A sweet, laugh-out-loud story of friendship that reminds readers ages 3-7 that no matter how different two friends are, there are always similiarities they share that bring them together.
Rock and Roll are the best of friends, but they are very different. Rock is strong, and Roll is soft. Rock hates attention, and Roll absolutely loves it. The two come from very different places--Rock was formed in a volcano, and Roll came out of an oven. But wait a minute . . . they both are team players, they are both able to handle pressure well, and they both LOVE to get dressed up. Could it be that maybe they are not so different after all? This is a sweet, laugh-out-loud story of friendship that reminds readers that no matter how different two friends are, there are always similiarities they share that bring them together.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
A gray rock and golden yellow bread roll don't seem to have much in common—debut creator Thompson presents them quite literally on different pages, each character commanding their own individual frame—throughout this genial comparative work. Rock, consistently anchored on each spread's verso, "hates attention." Roll, meanwhile, who populates the recto, loves it, at times donning whipped cream and a cherry. Despite these differences and their contrasting backgrounds (Rock is shown emerging from a volcano, while Roll enters the world via a sack of flour), they sport the same endearingly chunky shape, bright dot eyes, and tiny smiles. And indeed, the book's second half reveals the duo's commonalities: they're both swell team players, each looks "fabulous" in green (Rock from moss, Roll from mold), and most importantly, they're able to support each other. When normally "strong" Rock is sad, "soft" Roll has sufficient strength to provide comfort. Friendship really can rock—and roll—hints this companionable story about two seeming opposites coming together. Ages 3–6.
