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.

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).

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!

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.
