Rock and Vole

Take a look inside

Little Vole plans her time very carefully. Each day starts with the same exercise routine. Each day she eats the same stinky cheese snack. And each day ends the same way, sleeping on the left side of her cozy bed. Day in and day out, this is Vole's routine. But one day Vole wakes up and wants something different. She wants an adventure--a trip! So Vole starts to plan. She draws a map. She picks the ideal halfway spot to eat her snack. And she knows exactly what she will say at the end of her trip. ""This is just as I imagined it."" Vole sets out on her perfectly planned adventure and things are going well. But sometimes perfectly planned adventures don't go perfectly. Unexpectedly, Vole comes to a ginormous, selfish, refuses-to-move rock that is blocking her way to her lovely adventure. How unfair! But is it? Maybe life can be better when some things don't go according to plan. From the author/illustrator of One Red Sock.
