The book title and author escapes me. It is a children's picture/story book for the age group of about 6 to 9, perhaps 10. Watercolor paintings of little girls living in a city. Brownstone type apartments. The rock was about the size of a hand and multicolored. As I'm typing the story had to do with sharing and friendship. In the 60's or 70's, I had a book that was destroyed.Two friends, urban setting and a colorful rock. It was a simple, sweet story and the rock was the focal point. Nothing sinister, scary, romantic about this book. More of a book with a moral. I have tried but cannot remember anymore details. If someone remembers the title, I appreciate and thank you, if not, it was worth a try. If anymore details come to me, I will post them.

Hmm. Sounds a bit like "Sylvester and the Magic Pebble" from 1970.Rock central. There's a scene with two people picnicking at the rock. I wouldn't describe it as a terribly sweet story, though.

Was this a little rock like you hold in your hand, or a giant rock like the kids could sit on?
The rock was the size of a hand. Two little girls, about 8 years old living in the city, brownstone type apartments. If I'm not mistaken, it had something to do with sharing and friendship. Childs story/picture book, nothing sinister, romantic, scary.
I'm new to this site, so forgive me if my posts are not as expected, still learning.
Heidi, you might want to edit the subject line of your original post to include a few more keywords (e.g. "picture book rock friendship watercolor illustrations"). This might get more views from people familiar with that subset of books.

YES!!!!! Thank you so, so much Sherri! I had the one with a blue hard cover, "A Whitman Small World Library Book", 1966. It was ruined in my basement and I was so upset. Now I have to see if I could find it at a reasonable price. Again Sherri, thank you so much! :)
