Praise for Stick Man
*"Donaldson and Scheffler's poignant, suspenseful profile of an inanimate object recalls Laurie Keller or The Velveteen Rabbit. Donaldson's rhymes never skip a beat, and Scheffler personalizes the many animals, people and settings in his witty watercolors. This yarn could become a December perennial." &msdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review
*"Scheffler's engaging illustrations, Donaldson's irresistible rhyming text and repeated refrains make this a winning read-aloud that will stick around long after the holiday season." —Kirkus, starred review
"The easy cadence, with a rolling structure and uncomplicated rhymes, will make this endearing picture book a fun read-along, and though Stick Man might object, kids will recognize the near-endless possibilities for fun that a stick presents." —Booklist --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

My favorite kid's book!,

This review is from: Tiddler (Board book)
A very fun read. I love reading this aloud to my children. It best suits 18 months to 4 years. Wonderful rhymes, a lilting speed to the prose, and many parts that the children love to shout out themselves. I love the fact that it encourages storytelling and imagination in little ones, too. There is no one out there that comes close to this duo... The best storyteller/artist combo ever, in my opinion.

This review is from: The Fish Who Cried Wolf (Hardcover)
This book was very well written. My 7 year old grandson enjoyed the story very much and certainly learned why he should not cry wolf.

Fabulous Book to Share With Your Child,
By antiomi - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fish Who Cried Wolf (Hardcover)
My son got this book for his 3rd birthday, and it quickly became both his and my favorite. The story is a cute one -- a little fish named Tiddler tells elaborate stories about why he's late to school every day. Then one day he is caught in a fisherman's net and then lost in the ocean. Then he hears someone telling one of his tall tales, and he traces his own story back home.The book rhymes and has repeating text, so even the smallest kid can "read along." The pictures are gorgeous, imaginative and full of details for little eyes to notice. The story is fun for kids and really very touching for adults. Put a child on your lap and read this with them . . . over and over and over again. 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful

Another lovely book for you AND the kids to read,
By A. Woodley "Patroness, Janeites, the Austen list" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Tiddler: The story-telling fish (Hardcover)
Julia Donaldson manages to write compelling rhymes which are easily read aloud and enjoyed by Adults and children. In this great fun book Tiddler is a small fish in a school with Miss Skate - but he is always late and always with a big excuse. Unfortunately one day there really IS a problem, a man with a net.Axel Sheffler gets to let his wonderful illustrations run riot for the underwater illustrations. His rich pcitures are really compelling and great fun detail for the kids to pick up. I don't think any book with beat Room on the Broom (another Donaldson/Sheffler book) however it is wonderful to have others. They are fun to read and share 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Funny story of an unusual talent.,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Fish Who Cried Wolf (Hardcover)
Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler's THE FISH WHO CRIED WOLF tells of the smallest ocean fish who tells the tallest tales to explain his tardiness - until one day he really is caught by a fisherman. Can he use his storytelling abilities to escape? Hilarious fish drawings add personality and zest to the funny story of an unusual talent.
