Stick Man - New Children's Book

The authors of new Childrens books have lost none of their creative abilities to produce delightful books. I thoroughly recommend the  “Stick Man”.

The creators of this inspired book, the ”Stick Man” are the winning combination of Julia Donaldson, the author and the illustrator, Axel Scheffler. The publisher is Scholastic.

The hero of this kid’s book is a stick man who has a very adventurous life. The adventures all start with the stick man waking early and taking an early morning jog.

Unfortunately, the Stick Man does not take enough care himself with the dog.

“A stick” barks the dog

“An excellent stick

The right kind of stick

for my favourite trick”

The Stick Man’s adventures go on from there. He comes through a variety of  different scrapes. They are all where you would expect to find a stick with its own particular role.

The next time you take the children for a walk you can bring the book alive. See if you can find the Stick Man and do not forget to take him home to the family tree.

I have rated the book on the green rating criteria as a Splash Green which may be rather harsh. However, I think it is a fair rating. This rating detracts nothing from the book.

It is highly entertaining kid’s book and I am certain it will help your children fall in love with books. Doubtless, this kid’s book will become a favourite new childrens book of your children or the grandchildren.
