Stick Man by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler

Stick ManOh how we laughed. Now go get Stick Man

No really.  My son loaded grabbed this one of the shelf at the library today and it was the hit of tonight's bedtime reading.  Santa makes a cameo but this is far more than a "holiday book".  The fun is in watching Stick Man declare that he is more than a stick while getting into situations that are normal...for a stick (like dogs, floating down the creek and being used as kindling).  All the while our hero is desperately trying to get back to his family. 

The illustrations beg for repeated exploration as you and your kids predict what will befall Stick Man next.
