Sylvester and the Magic Pebble is the story of a donkey who finds a wishing
pebble. Sylvester makes a poor decision when making his wish and as a
result, is turned into a stone. His parents are heartbroken and spend nearly
a year searching for him. Fortunately, the tale ends well, reinforcing how
important it is to hold dear the ones we love most and avoid greed at all
costs. This module invites students to step into the shoes (hooves) of the
animal characters, explore geology, and consider what wishes they might
make if given a choice.
