# Stick Man

Julia Donaldson's rhyming picture book, published by Alison Green Books in 2016, follows a stick who lives in the family tree with his Stick Lady Love and their three stick children. All he wants is to get home, but a dog mistakes him for an ordinary stick and carries him further and further away. Along the way he is thrown, snapped up and put to work in all sorts of ways, and he keeps insisting to anyone who will listen that he is not just a stick.

The bouncing rhyme and repeated refrain make it easy to read aloud, and Axel Scheffler's illustrations follow him through the seasons towards a snowy Christmas. It suits small children who like to join in, and families looking for a warm, funny story about finding your way back to the people you love.
