Good+, with edewear. From first chapter (Do Stones Grow?): They do grown, don't they, Uncle Adam?" "Little girls grow, I'm sure. Now, jump! You're getting so big…I can hardly lift you." "I don't mean little girls; I mean stones. Johnny says they dont grow." "What makes you think stones do not grow, Johnny?" "Why! How can they? They're so hard!" "So your teeth are hard, but they grew. This ivory paper-cutter is hard too; you know where ivory comes from?" "Well, I know ivory grows, and teeth, and bones, and shells; but they're different from stones." "How different?" Johnny thought awhile, then said: "They're alive; at least they have been alive, or they belonged to something -- elephants, or oysters, or something -- that was alive?" "Might not the stones have sometime been alive in the same way.". Children's Literature, Natural History, Philosophy. JBS.
