Wasn't a huge fan

Julia D writes beautiful kids book but I feel as though she missed the mark on this one. It's part Christmas book which is a little strange. Bit repetitive for me

Great book for children

Took weeks to arrive and the front cover does not have the title of the book on it and the authors names are also blacked out. Weird second or something. Story is fabulous.

Delightful and makes reading to a child magical

Arrived earlier today, when my Grandson was at our home.
He already has the book and loves the animated cartoon which tells the story. He saw me remove the book out and put it on the side in the hall. Later, while in the lounge he said read me Stick Man - he is just 2 and a half. To recognise the book without any vocal hint just from a quick sight of its cover is testament to this book’s appeal.
He has never sat so good and followed my reading him a book as he did when reading this wonderful book.
A simple idea for a story is perhaps the key to its success. It resonates with children of all ages who have needed a stick to finish their snowman or throw for a dog.
Julia Donaldson is the go author in children’s books at this age and in Axel Scheffler her illustrator she has a super talented creative genius who works so well to bring her works to life.
Using rhyming verse to progress her story the tale goes from fun to fatal finality in a few action packed pages. Nothing is too fanciful here, it is all logical and quite believable; especially when Father Christmas saves the day.
My Grandson spotted him immediately.
This book made for a special time, reading it with my Grandson today and for that reason alone, it can only be seen as a terrific book.

A rhyming story with a fair number of ups & downs…

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2021

…if you are a stick (man) but safely home for Christmas, as it turns out.

Sensitive readers may not appreciate the rather troubled time that ‘Stick Man’ is having, but all is well at the end when he is safely back ‘in the family tree’, with his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three!

Very young children might appreciate a simplified introduction to Stick Man with the newly released (at the time of writing) chunky board book, entitled Let’s Find STICK MAN innovative with its more durable felt-like material for the 5 lift-the-flaps (Christmas not covered).

ooOoo

Back to the paperback version, currently in hand, a sticker on the front reminds that the title is by the creators of The Gruffalo

~ TITLE: STICK MAN
~ AUTHOR: JULIA DONALDSON
~ ILLUSTRATOR: AXEL SCHEFFLER
~ PUBLISHER: ALISON GREEN BOOKS/SCHOLASTIC
~ 2008

‘Printed in Italy’

From the back cover:

🌳 'Stick Man lives in the family tree
With his Stick Lady Love and their stick children three.'

ooOoo

Measuring around 22 cm x 27.75 cm, the colourful front cover, with ‘Stick Man’ off on a jog with various creatures looking on, is enhanced by shiny silver colouring that glistens nonchalantly in the change of light. Inside are 32 colourful, shiny finish pages with the story running for 30, over double page spreads.

The rhyming text, ENHANCED in places FOR EFFECT, is clear for the best part and easy to narrate. The illustrations are amazing as usual; seemingly simple at first glance but offering scope for much to talk about throughout, including emotions!

Stick Man loves his lady love and children, his journey begins when he’s picked up and throw for a dog, all he can think about is his lady love, and stick children and longs to be home. He is a master at escaping,
His final adventure see’s him on a pile of wood ready to warm up a family home.
An action pack mesmerising story with a perfectly happy ever after ending.
I bought this book sometime ago for my then 5 year old, and almost two years on and still adores this delightful and very enchanting stick man story. I bought this book again this time hard back for a friends child, who was as delighted with the stick mans adventures and wonderful illustrations.
This came well packaged , with a super quick delivery.
Thank you for reading please click helpful.

Mr. M. M. Abdo

One of the best children book ever

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2020

Verified Purchase

Wonderful story with heart. One of the best children’s book I have ever read. My 3 year old loved it and was a emotional throughout the story. For a book to make child get emotional and get them to think, that is a big plus for me. The story is extremely well written. Smart, funny, great pace, at times poetic. How Julia Donaldson gave a family of stick have feeling, purpose, life and for you to care enough for them, is just genius. This story starts with laughter, leads to a sad and emotional middle and ends with a magical happy end. A book sure to be loved and bring a smile on ever read.

MrsK

A bedtime favourite

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 May 2016

Verified Purchase

Stick Man is another Julia Donaldson book which is one of my 2 year old’s favourite bedtime stories.

It is the story of a stick man who is separated from his family, when he goes for a jog and is picked up by a dog. He then ends up on all sorts of adventures, with the reader wondering if he will ever get home.

My daughter is not a particularly sensitive child and like most 2 year olds, just takes things as they come, but she did seem a bit worried about Stick Man being away from his family the first time we read this. This is despite loving Monkey Puzzle by the same author, which is a similar theme of separation. Once we’d read through once and she saw the outcome of the book, she relaxed and now asks for it regularly.

The story rhymes and flows nicely. It’s not too long, so holds my daughter’s attention well. My daughter loves shouting ‘I’m Stick Man, I’m Stick Man’ along with the story and it’s been read so often she can recite some parts of the story. It also has a bit of a Christmas twist at the end, so may be a good one to read around that time of year.
