Agate has a poor opinion of himself and does not feel special because of his moose characteristics. He does not feel useful. All of his friends are named for beautiful gems, and he does not know an agate is such a beautiful stone, too. The watercolor pictures in this book will inspire little painters to want to paint, and rock collectors to go on rock hunts. Readers will learn about birthstones and true inner beauty through this story. This is a story to help any child feel special!
This is a YouTube video of a cow moose eating. Moose like the plants on the bottom of the lake as they contain more salt.
