Stone Underpants

Reach for this book when your child is feeling frustrated by a project that is not going as planned or when they need a gentle push to try a new way of solving an old problem. Through the silly lens of a caveboy named Pod who is tired of his chilly bottom, the story highlights how mistakes are actually stepping stones toward success. It is a lighthearted way to validate the 'back to the drawing board' feeling that many kids face in preschool and early elementary years. While the plot is driven by humor, the emotional core is one of persistence and creative engineering. Pod tries stone, wood, and even moss to make his underpants, learning what works and what does not along the way. This book is perfect for ages 3 to 7, offering a fun bridge between basic self-care routines and the complex world of invention and history.
