Synopsis A child describes all the wonderful things there are to enjoy in the gravel pit across the road.
A young boy explains his fascination with the large gravel pit across the street from his house. The boy knows that many grown-ups in the neighborhood think the gravel pit is ugly, but he uses his imagination to see it as more than just a pile of rocks--in fact to him it can be an oceanless beach, a mountain range, or even a place filled with buried treasure. Illustrated with watercolor paintings.
