Story time: Stick Man by Julia Donaldson (13th Oct 2011)

Last night, I’ve read Julia Donaldson’s Stick Man to my children. I loved Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler (my children love them too). I collected most of their books and I bought this one from Big Bad Wolf sale the other day. In this book, it’s tells a story about Stick Man who lives in the family tree with his Stick lady and their stick children three. One day, a dog finds him and snatches him for a game of fetch. This is the beginning of a terrible journey which Stick Man tries to get back but is taken farther and farther away from his home. Will he ever get back to the family tree? You definitely have to read this book to find out. It’s really fun to read this book to my children (maybe because I loved repetitive rhymes) and also we enjoyed to see the familiar bright illustrations by Axel Scheffler. My children will explore the books and tries to find familiar character from The Gruffalo or Monkey Puzzle.
