Stalactite & Stalagmite
A Big Tale from a Little Cave
Checking Availibility...Description
A hilarious and thought-provoking picture book about two little cave rock formations who witness the entire history of the world, perfect for fans of Oliver Jeffers, Jon Klassen, and Mac Barnett.
DRIP. DRIP. DRIP.
Time flies for two charming little cave nubs, Stalactite and Stalagmite. Over millions of years, creatures and things pass in and out of their cave, everything from a trilobite, an ichthyostega, and a triceratops, to a ground sloth and a bat.
When you are an ageless rock formation, it's nice to have a friend who's always there. But what will happen when the two nubs grow enough to finally touch?

Reviews
*JLG Gold Selection*
? "Loosely drawn and collaged multimedia spreads carry a light-hearted goofiness that chimes with the characters' offhand view of earth-shattering events. . . The premise of a bond that lasts eras and epochs poses all kinds of possibilities, here pursued with wit, curiosity, and sparky energy."
