PreS-Gr 1–Ava loves rocks. She reads about them in books and studies her collection with her magnifying glass. But she really, really loves fossils. Ava digs (“Scoop, plop. Scoop, plop”) in her yard, in the park, and at the beach to no avail. Luckily, Ava has a supportive family who takes her to a fossil park. After a long day of digging, everyone in Ava’s family (except Grandpa) has found a fossil, but all Ava found was a smooth, round stone. As they leave the park, Ava checks out a fossil chart and is surprised to discover that her smooth, round stone is actually fossilized shark poop. This early reader is perfectly suited for its audience and manages to be entertaining, too. Agostini’s short tale is funny, and Murray’s illustrations are charming and detailed.
