Stick with Family,
By Reflection Haiku "Lily Wang, Author" (California, USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Stick Man (Hardcover)
A great book for youngsters to read during winter/X'mas time, STICK MAN from the artists of ROOM ON THE BOOM offers another unique story about the family tree dad who is content with his beautiful Stick Lady Love and stick children three, is one day chased away from home by a dog and hurls into worlds of danger. No one can see he is "a stick man" that is needed and loved by a family - the girl throws him into the river, the swan weaves him into nest, the man makes him a sandcastle flag, the children makes him into a pen, a bow and a boomerang. Poor stick man has suffered and loses his hope of returning home and as he finally gets picked up as a stick to be burned for the fireplace, only a miracle can save him. And miracle does happen on Christmas night! The Stick Man is in the right place to save the "Stuck Man"(the gift-delivering Santa stuck inside the chimney). Carrying home by a grateful Santa for his family reunion, this book ends with a heartwarming note that may teach children to use their imagination and extend their compassion and love to be gentle to all living things for even a twig may belong to a family. The readers will have fun looking at the stick family holding hands, carrying their baby for a picnic and enjoy quality playtime together just like all of us.

Another great story from Julia Donaldson!,
By Joanne Middleton (Labrador City, Newfoundland Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stick Man (Hardcover)
How imaginative - a Stickman! Stickman goes on a great adventure and yes he "longs to be back in his family tree" however he does get there with the help of a very special jolly friend. Clever illustrations again by Mr. Axel Scheffler. This book is a big hit at our house.

The boy loves this book.,
By Anthony (Calgary, Alberta Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Stick Man (Hardcover)
Pros: Same draw for my son as the Gruffalo books. We read it almost every day.Con (sort of): Santa kind of takes over the story near the end. I was surprised as there was no indication of it being a holiday book. Not that it detracts from the story too bad but in February the Santa part is kind of lost. I wish I had known about the Santa stuff so I could buy it for the time leading up to Christmas instead. It would be neater that way. Still though, the boy loves it, so mission accomplished.
