Description
Stick Man lives in the family tree with his Stick Lady Love and their three stick children. One day, a mischievous dog carries him off, and as he tries to return home, he is repeatedly taken and used by different people, ending up far from his family. When he helps Santa Claus out of a bind, Santa ensures Stick Man makes it home for Christmas.
Quick Summary
In this brilliantly rhythmic tale, a humble stick man gets swept away on the wildest adventure of his life, being mistaken for a toy, a tool, and even a roasting fork as he desperately tries to get back to his family tree. Kids will giggle at the mischievous dog who "fetches" Stick Man and cheer when he becomes the snowman's arm, the kite, and finally winds up in Santa's hands on Christmas Eve. If your child loves the tongue-twisting rhymes and cheeky humor of "Room on the Broom," they'll be utterly charmed by this wobbly little hero's chaotic journey home. Ideal for kindergarten through second graders, especially those who love being read aloud to while snuggled up during the holiday season.
