1970 Caldecott Award winner. Sylvester, who enjoys picking up pebbles, one day picks up a red pebble. Sylvester, who accidentally turns into a rock while taking a pebble to show her family, is unable to become a donkey again, and ends up standing on a hill.

Meanwhile, Sylvester's family goes around looking for Sylvester, unaware of the fact. Sylvester's parents pass by Sylvester, who has turned into a rock, but there is no way for them to know that the rock is Sylvester.
