Synopsis

For years, Plymouth Rock sat on the beach without getting any attention. But in 1741, the people of Plymouth decided it was an important landmark, because the Pilgrims must have stepped on it when they arrived in the New World, and its adventures began. The rock was moved, dropped, broken, moved again, and cemented back together before finally being enclosed in an impressive monument, ensuring its place as a solid piece of American history! "Highly interesting, definitely enlightening, undeniably Fritz." -- "School Library Journal" "Tickles as well as informs." -- "Booklist"
